Masaru Sato (Japanese: 佐藤 勝, Hepburn: Satō Masaru, May 29, 1928 – December 5, 1999) (sometimes transliterated Satoh[1]) was a Japanese composer of film scores.[2][3] Following the 1955 death of Fumio Hayasaka, whom Sato studied under, Sato was the composer of Akira Kurosawa's films for the next 10 years. He was nominated for Best Music at the 15th Japan Academy Prize in 1992.[4] In 1999, the Japanese government decorated Sato with the Order of the Rising Sun, 4th Class, Gold Rays with Rosette for his contributions to the arts.
