== Involvement ==
=== Yakuza 4: 2010 ===
Saito is present to introduce Taiga Saejima into Okinawa Penitentiary No. 2. Later, he is seen beating Saejima viciously in a solitary confinement cell as punishment. He then fights Saejima again as the latter makes it out of his cell. Some time after, he, along with several other guards, catches up with Saejima just before Saejima could follow Goh Hamazaki out of prison. In spite of his initial defeat, he is able to gain on Hamazaki and Saejima as they were about to make for the mainland. A frantic struggle ensues where he shoots Hamazaki a few times before he is pushed off into the sea.
A few days following that, he reappears with his fellow guards at Tetsuo Tamashiro's old office in Okinawa, attempting to kidnap Yasuko Saejima. However, he is defeated again, this time by Kazuma Kiryu.
== Fighting Style ==
Saito is fought five times throughout Yakuza 4, and is accompanied by other prison guards in the first, third and fourth fight. The first time he is encountered, he uses a generic, strong thug moveset. In the latter four encounters, however, he wields a hardened expandable baton. He attacks with powerful swings, cap strikes and kicks. His moveset is comprised of:
* a Rush Combo made up of two leftward horizontal abdomen-strikes, a leaping downward swing, and a spinning right roundhouse kick, followed by:
** a rightward horizontal swing, or
** a left shovel hook;
* a second combo consisting of a downward vertical swing, two downward baton cap-strikes, followed by:
** a low reverse-grip leftward swing, or
** a flying right knee kick and a horizontal leftward swing;
* a high right tornado kick,
* a flying body press as a running attack,
* a leaping downward vertical cap-strike as both a basic and stunned attack,
* a left cross-midsection strike-downward cap strike combo for his grab attack,
* a charged baton-thrust as a guard reversal,
* Kiryu's Knockdown Reversal, which can stun his opponent;
* quickstep attacks, which can stun his opponent, including:
** a rightward/leftward abdomen-strike after sidestepping left/right respectively, and
** a front flip-downward slam after backstepping;
* a front flip-downward slam as a downed attack, and
* a taunt where he claps his baton with his left hand while stepping forward.
His attack trails are blood red and black.
