En tant que salarié de Tōei Animation, Jun'ichi Satō ne pouvait travailler en tant que réalisateur pour un autre studio hormis s'il utilisait un pseudonyme ou que son statut n'apparaisse pas clairement aux crédits (superviseur au lieu de réalisateur par exemple). Contraint par ce statut, il devient Free-lance en 1998 ce qui lui permet de travailler librement sur la série Mahô tsukai tai!, produite par le studio Triangle Staff.
Après deux ans d'indépendance, il intègre en 2000 à nouveau un autre studio, Hal Film Maker dont il jouit de plus grande liberté. Il y réalise l'essentiel de la production du studio dont la franchise Aria. Lorsque Hal Film Maker est intégré au studio TYO Animation en 2009, il intègre le bureau exécutif avant de s'en retirer en 2011.
Parallèlement, il réalise pour deux autres studios : Gonzo (Gate Keepers en 2000 et Kaleido Star en 2003) ainsi que pour le studio Sunrise notamment sur la franchise Keroro-gunsō (2004-2011).

Fuyuki Hinata and the Keroro Platoon are exploring an abandoned temple in the mountaintop city of Machu Picchu in Peru. While on the exploration, Keroro sets off many booby traps, and they find a hidden chamber with a large blue crystal in the center, on a stand that has a key in it. Keroro leans on the key, causing the room to activate a mysterious machine, this caused the entire temple to shake. The platoon run out of the room when they see this. While running, Keroro accidentally loses his Kero Ball and Fuyuki catches a fleeting glimpse of a glowing young woman as he is running out, and tells Keroro that there is a girl in the room, but he is forced to leave the room before he can say anything else. The group successfully escapes, while the girl (now sprouting a pair of glowing wings) watches them leave - while back in the chamber, something is growing within the crystal.
