Kei Satō is a Actor Japonais born on 21 december 1928 at Aizuwakamatsu (Japon)
Kei Satō (佐藤 慶, Satō Kei) was a Japanese character actor and narrator. He was born in Aizu. He is known for his work with Japanese New Wave director Nagisa Oshima, and for several films with Kaneto Shindo, such as Onibaba and Kuroneko. He won the best actor award from Kinema Junpo for the films The Ceremony and Nihon no akuryō. He also worked as a narrator for many documentaries, both on television and film.
In his early days as an actor, before his success in The Human Condition, he supported himself by producing gariban hand-written mimeographs, and he maintained his interest in hand-printing to the end of his life.
In 1981 he appeared in the film Daydream performing an unsimulated sex scene with actress Kyoko Aizome. The involvement of a mainstream actor in a hardcore film made good press coverage and brought audiences to the theater "in droves".

De retour dans l’institution de redressement d’une église, Rô se livre à tous les blasphèmes, mettant la religion à l’épreuve. Le murmure des dieux lui parvient à travers les écouteurs transparents d’un poste radio en germanium. Pourquoi sommes-nous ainsi enfermés dans la vie ? Nous savons pourtant bien qu’à cette question il n’est point de réponse. Simplement, une autre pensée se dégage indistinctement, en suspens. « La vie est pleine de bonheur », et dans ce bonheur il y a blessures, douleurs, souffrances désirées comme le fait d’en infliger à autrui, et cet incoercible sentiment de vacuité… Et pourtant, inexplicablement, l’on ressent un espoir. Alors que nul ne sait ni pourquoi, ni où cela peut nous mener…
