Familly:
- Father:
Takeru doesn’t live with him since his parents’ divorce in his middle school. Father’s hometown is Miyazaki. Takeru loved Kamen Rider Amazon because of his dad. His dad is strict and diligent that he educated Takeru well. That’s why Takeru is not stuck up like most bad guys.
- Mother:
Not so conservative as to intervene her child’s business. Tsundere mother. Claims that she watches Kamen Rider because of Momo.
- Sister:
4 years younger than Takeru. Wants to be an anime artist. Calls Takeru ‘old man’ at home.
- Grandmother:
Loves Takeru’s accomplishment as an actor. Bought a nice winter coat for him.
Other Fact:
- When he was born, everyone was amazed his prominent face features despite his small body.
- When he was an elementary kid, he learned Sorim offered by his dad.
- Has black belt
- His movements were acrobatic that he was called monkey.
- In middle school, he received more than 10 chocolates by Senpais on Valentine’s Day.
- He was involved in baseball team, Geju and other activities and decided to quit to study for high school entrance exams.
- He play Baseball in Elementary and Middle school.
- Graduate on March 2007, a week before his 18 birthday.
- He was very intelligent that he was ranked number one often.
- He got into North High School in Koshigaya Prefektur Saitama (No.2 famous, hard-to-get-into high school) where he could attend by bikes.
- During high school, he was focused on dancing that he slept in school and practiced dancing at night.
- At 9th grade, he got 100s on math
- During his second year in High School (most likely in 2005 or 2006 at the age of 15 or 16) he was scouted on his first ever visit to Harajuku on the famous Takeshita Doori by a scout from AMUSE Entertainment. He already knew about AMUSE since before and had a interest in the business, so he also frequently says that if he never was scouted he would probably applied for it by himself and because he admired Hukatsu Eri, He choose Amuse.
- Before he was shooting for Princess Princess D, he had been working at nearby market. (morning: school, afternoon: working, night: dancing)
- He had tough schedule. He had not gone to Disney land or Fireworks and didn’t enjoy memorable teenager life.
- He thought he failed the audition for Princess Princess D, but he actually made it. Because the drama didn’t have great fund, actors didn’t have makeup artists. But Takeru says because of that, he enjoyed acting.
- His hobby is amongst other things to play with his two cats named Kochirou and Puchirou and continuously updates his blog about them whenever he’s home (He once wrote about how proud he was when Kochirou hit Puchirou, and Puchirou didn't hit back).
- His special skills are break dancing and the Rubik’s cube. In Kamen Rider Den-O he got the opportunity to incorporate his dancing skills into the drama and has since then often been asked in interviews to show a bit of his dancing.
- He was therefore one of the few actors in ROOKIES who had any experience with baseball when the shooting began. FYI, he played as a center or on the left field.
- In 2007 he received medical treatment when diagnosed with Pneumothorax and was released after 10 days. More recently he caught the flu during his appearances for the Event “The GAME ~Boy’s Film Show~,” which led to a rescheduling of a few of the shows.
- He is known to get along well with fellow AMUSE actors such as Miura Haruma and Sakurada Dori and according to other fellow AMUSE members he often goes out for karaoke with them. Another friend of his is the ex. D-boys member Shirota Yu which often takes him along for drives.
- He celebrated his 20th birthday with a festival in Odaiba, called "Takeru Festival 2009". Fans gathered and watched montages of Sato's previous and current works and even the commercial for Lotte's Fits mint. It also included a live chat between Satoh and an MC and ended with Sato singing
- Takeru’s favourite singers are Mr.Children, ONE OK ROCK and Shiina Ringo.
- He doesn’t smoke. He says he doesn’t like being addicted to things like that.
- Starred in three of Bahashishi’s PVs, “Oasis”, “Yakusoku” and “Kiseki” which are all connected into a story where Takeru plays the male lead.
- On his blog, he has talked about the stress and loneliness sometimes felt in being the star of a television show.
- He can't touch his left shoulder with his left hand and right shoulder with right hand

- He eat onigiri (Salty ones)
- He go to bed before midnight (That's healthy)
- He like the brand which is often advertised in the first pages of mags about fashion. (I think it's called "Idea".)
- He love Mickael Jackson
- He shout with a big voice (I'm annoying)
Buddies:
- Takeru and Channaka (Nakamura Yuichi). Takeru mentioned in the Den-o Special talk show that on his first set he met Channaka, the first time he went out to eat with someone was with Channaka, Channaka also appeared in Shinigami no Ballad, and then he appeared on Den-o.
- Takeru and Igarashi Shunji.
- Takeru and Shirota Yuu. Takemanchanpan and Shiromanchanpan. Shirota drives Takeru to places (Takeru mentioned he wanted to go to IKEA to Shirota once, and then Shirota drove him there.) In an interview in Junon 2009.11, Takeru stated that his ringtone for his cellphone is of Shirota singing. He recorded Shirota's parody during ROOKIES filming because it was hilarious, and that meant he had it as his ringtone for over a year. Obviously he doesn't get tired of Shirota.
- Takeru and Mizushima Hiro. They first played brothers in Mei-chan no Shitsuji, and then surprisingly found themselves being co-stars again when Takeru guest starred in Mr. Brain, and then in BECK. Hiro once mentioned that Takeru's like a cute kohai on a Mei-chan promo appearance.
- Takeru and Miura Haruma. These two are so adorable together and like to eat Nabe together. They first co-starred together in 2008 in Bloody Monday and have been very close friends since then, especially since they're both from AMUSE. They even went on a vacation together to New York and released a dvd of the trip.
Specialties:
- As a high schooler, Takeru thought school was boring until he found a break dancing club to join, and the first time he break danced for the public as an actor was in the making of PPD. Then, Kamen Rider Den-o fully utilized his skill by having Takeru dance whenever he was possessed by his fourth Imagin, Ryutaros. In the Den-O special talk show, Takeru also dances to Climax Jump with, the regular group of guys, and he had only started practicing the night before.
- Takeru's second specialty is the Rubik Cube. Right after Takeru danced in the making of PPD, Takeru solved a 3x3 rubix cube (While he was doing so, co-star Kamakari Kenta takes pictures with him, bugs him, and ends up breaking the rubik cube.). He can not only solve regular sized cubes, but also make patterns out of 5x5 ones. Also, in a sanma appearance for the ROOKIES movie, Takeru solved a regular cube, made patterns out of one, and made a giants picture using five rubik cubes. He has some mad rubix cube skills.
Takeru Rubic 1
- While Takeru's popularity has continued to rise over the years, he has remained to be the same sweet boy he was when he debuted. When people mention his past roles, he goes 'arigatou gozaimasu' and bows a little. When people mentions he's cute/popular, he smiles, bows his head a little, and says 'arigatou gozaimasu' / 'oh no not at all.' He doesn't let his popularity get to his head and continues to live his life honestly. He also doesn't really think he's that popular, or get why people like him. In an interview with Haruma, the question 'whose the most popular?' was asked, and Haruma said 'wouldn't that be Takeru?' Takeru on the other hand went "Hold it right there!! Which one of us really is popular? Let’s put some serious thought into this. First off, you said I was popular, but honestly I’m not”.
- In another interview, it was mentioned that he was popular, and he went 'hmm, maybe because I'm kind?' When he held a handshake for his Intently photobook, many kids came because of Kamen Rider Den-o. As a result, he had to crouch over the table a lot, but he kept on smiling, speaking in a kind tone, and holding the little kids' hands with both hands. He believes that his kindness is one of his most redeeming factor.
- Takeru's a sensitive man who, according to Haruma, probably can't stand to watch a girl cry. He pays attention to the small details of people and treats both guys and girls the same. With girls, he has no specific type that he likes, but he does prefer that the girl be decisive/take charge, since he's indecisive himself. He can't straightforwardly confess to a girl and will instead. Cunningly express them little by little. However, Takeru seems to be a guy who doesn't fall in love, but he is perfectly fine with it. He even mentioned while talking about this that he was trying to think of how people actually fall in love.
- Takeru's fashionable. He even has his own little fashion corner in TV Guide. Oddly enough, he can make some questionable outfits work, which is pretty relieving.
- Takeru's a dork. He'll make random sound effects, such as the rice cooking. He was a huge gamer until junior high school, and well, gamers for life. He gets excited over random, simple things (such as someone knowing a place near/where he grew up). He can fail at speaking and adorably mumble what he's saying. He was once asked in an interview how to study better or something of the like, and since he wasn't that great of a student in high school, he instead gave advice on how to comfortably sleep in class. He took on this weird persona as the ship's captain when he and Haruma went on boat visit (surrounded by a bunch of non-japanese people) to the Niagras.
- Takeru's english is adorable. The pronunciation really isn't that bad, but the way he speaks is just adorable.
