He started admiring EXILE when he was a child.

In his childhood, he danced on the streets, won numerous dance contests and also trained abroad.

Career

2021-2022

From 2021 to 2022, he participated in the boys division of the audition iCON Z ~Dreams For Children~ and was selected as a member of the team Z FACTION during the screening process. Ultimately, the team was eliminated at the final judging of the fourth screening. However, as six of the seven members of Z FACTION would advance to the final stage as members of another group, only Sato would have been eliminated here. For this reason, EXILE HIRO made a proposal: After discussion among the producers, it was decided that Sato would join "KIDMATIC" because "he had worked so hard and shined so brightly, and we did not want him to give up". KIDMATIC made it to the final screening on May 21, 2022, where they were ultimately eliminated and disbanded.

2022

On July 23, at the third concert of BATTLE OF TOKYO TIME 4 Jr.EXILE titled BATTLE OF iCON Z, it was announced that he would participate in the second chapter of LDH's audition iCON Z ~Dreams For Children~ as one of 13 finalists of the first chapter.

During the audition, the contestants formed three different groups in order to compete for an imminent debut. On the November 13 episode of ~Yume no Audition Variety~ Dreamer Z, it was revealed that Sato was placed in Group 3. On the November 20 episode, it was revealed that the group would be named THE JET BOY BANGERZ.

2023

On March 26, it was announced that THE JET BOY BANGERZ would be making their major debut under Sony Music Associated Records on August 23 along with the other two groups of the audition.

On August 23, Sato made his major debut as a member of THE JET BOY BANGERZ with the release of the group's first single "Jettin'".

On August 26, he announced at the joint debut live event of the three iCON Z Second Chapter groups that he had decided to join the D.LEAGUE dance team "SEPTENI RAPTURES" for the D.LEAGUE 23-24 SEASON alongside Nakamura Aoi, making all seven performers of THE JET BOY BANGERZ (except the vocalists) D-Leaguers too.
