Isao Sato (佐藤功, Satō Isao) was a Japanese born theater actor. He was born in Tokyo on June 27, 1949 and attended the Keio University, where he studied law. While in Japan, he was a member of the Shiki Theatre Company. His broadway debut was in the original all Asian cast of Pacific Overtures in 1976 where he played Kayama. He was the only non-American member of the cast. In fact, he came to America specifically to audition for this role, after having missed the Tokyo auditions for the musical. Once he was cast, he emigrated to America. Reviews for the show were mixed, but Sato received praise for his performance.
