Notes[]
- Satou actively smoked cigarettes during the production of Turboranger, but has since quit smoking because children came to see the filming of the series and he decided that his role as a high school student would be a bad influence on the people around him if he smoked.
- He and Kei Shindachiya (Ken Hoshikawa/Five Blue in Chikyu Sentai Fiveman) were high school classmates and Satou coincidentally met Shindachiya during the production of Turboranger when Shindachiya auditioned for Fiveman.
- The original design of Dragon Ranger/Burai was originally designed by Tamotsu Shinohara with Satou in mind, and Satou revealed he thought he would play the role of Burai at the time.
- Satou still keeps the Riki Honoo's clothes he worn during the Turboranger series, including his trademark red jacket, striped shirt and black pants. He wears them during the Super Sentai Spirits concerts when he sings the Turboranger songs, and in other tokusatsu related events as fan service for his Riki Honoo character.
- Satou is the only Sentai Red Ranger actor to date who sung two different main Super Sentai themes (Turboranger and Zyuranger).
