## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Masato_Sato&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Masato Sato used to work as a video operator at [Ajia-do](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajia-do_Animation_Works "wikipedia:Ajia-do Animation Works") (亜細亜堂). After switching to do directing, he established his own animation studio named Axel (アクセル).
He was involved in the *Detective Conan* [anime](/wiki/Anime "Anime") production since it was first broadcast. He first did organizer, storyboard, and episode director work for [**Episode 3**: An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case](/wiki/An_Idol%27s_Locked_Room_Murder_Case "An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case"); during this period, he also had been the director of the anime in episode 162 and episode 219. Afterwards, he became the assistant director, starting with [**Episode 318**: The Lucky Cigar Case (Part 1)](/wiki/The_Lucky_Cigar_Case "The Lucky Cigar Case"); then the long-term director, starting with [**Episode 333**: The Similar Princesses (Part 1)](/wiki/The_Similar_Princesses "The Similar Princesses").
The departure of [Akai](/wiki/Shuichi_Akai "Shuichi Akai") along with the resignation of Masato Sato. (OP22)
During his period as director, the *Detective Conan* anime production became rather chaotic; there was a huge alteration in the staff team, most storyboard artist began to quit the anime production, and a lot of animators were diverted to work on the [movies](/wiki/Movies "Movies"), even the anime character designer [Masatomo Sudo](/wiki/Masatomo_Sudo "Masatomo Sudo") temporarily ceased serving as the role. As a result, the anime character designer was changed to [Mari Tominaga](/wiki/Mari_Tominaga "Mari Tominaga") forcibly. The colour design was also switched to [Fusako Nakao](/wiki/index.php?title=Fusako_Nakao&action=edit&redlink=1 "Fusako Nakao (page does not exist)"), and the queer colour tone had brought a few questionings. This caused the unsteadily of the animation back then, leading to the increase in the demand of the involvements of outsource companies as well.
Special extended episodes (1-2.5 hours) are more commonly found in the Masato Sato era (mostly during YTV schedule rearrangement in Fall 2007). Amusingly, they made different versions of the same opening for each special episodes - for example [opening 21](/wiki/Opening_21 "Opening 21") has different versions of opening animation for each episodes (including the remaster episodes).
Until the last episode of the [**Episodes 491~504**: Clash of Red and Black](/wiki/Clash_of_Red_and_Black "Clash of Red and Black") series, which was aired in mid 2008, Sato eventually retired from the director role; [Koujin Ochi](/wiki/Koujin_Ochi "Koujin Ochi") took over the director position thereafter (Sato did not take part in the *Detective Conan* production for some time after his resignation as director, but surprisingly returned in 2011 and served as the director for OVA Detective Conan vs. Wooo).
In 2007 and 2013, Sato worked on some episodes under the pseudonym Masuku Taiga, which seems to be a direct reference to the boxing name and manga series [Tiger Mask](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Mask "wikipedia:Tiger Mask") (タイガーマスク / Taigā Masuku)[](#cite_note-alias-4).
