Sato vs Ito: Requiem<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Hideaki Ito<\/strong> is a well-established actor in Japanese TV and film, having starred in the popular Umizaru<\/em> series, some Takashi Miike films, Kamen Rider<\/em>, and three Coca-Cola commercials. He is also the current star of the live-action adaptation of the yakuza manga Donketsu<\/em>, currently in its second season of streaming on Japan\u2019s DMM TV.<\/p>\n With rugged good looks and award-winning acting chops, it\u2019s certainly no understatement to say he\u2019s among Japan\u2019s top stars. And now that we\u2019re all on the same page, we can begin to understand why our star reporter Mr. Sato was on a mad dash to the venue of Tokyo Comic Con 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 6 December, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cHuff, huff, huff\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cHuff\u2026 Huff\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cHey, huff\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cYou hear me? Huff\u2026 Today\u2019s the day, you pile of crap!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cHey, Ito! I\u2019ve finally got you cornered, and I\u2019m gonna make you pay!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The reason Mr. Sato is unusually upset all began in 2022. Around the beginning of the year, there was some buzz online that our reporter and Ito shared more than a passing resemblance to each other.<\/strong> This came as a surprise to Mr. Sato, who, despite all of his winning qualities, would be the first to admit he\u2019s not planning to enter any beauty contests.<\/p>\n However, after investigating, Mr. Sato found a picture of Mr. Ito eating his first noodles of the new year. The way the actor looked, with his guard completely down and slurping up a noodle, really did kind of look like Mr. Sato.<\/strong> So, our reporter recreated that scene himself for us all to compare and contrast.<\/p>\n That photo ended up getting noticed by Ito himself<\/strong>, who posted it on his own Instagram account along with a link to Mr. Sato\u2019s article about it.<\/p>\n \u25bc Ito:<\/strong> Mr. #HidenoriSato, thank you so much! LOL Even our names are almost the same. Hidenori Sato Hideaki Ito. #helookslikeme #ilooklikehim<\/em><\/p>\n As anyone who uses Instagram will tell you, that message was horribly offensive. Ito clearly hashtagged Mr. Sato\u2019s name when he should have @ed him. Microaggressions were his least favorite form of aggression and these had been lingering for far too long, so it was time to settle the score.<\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cWhere are you Ito?!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Using all of his skills as an investigative reporter, Mr. Sato checked the schedule and found where Ito was set to take the stage as a part of the Donketsu<\/em> panel.<\/p>\n He was surprised at the size of the venue and the stage, which caused him to reconsider things. Maybe, Ito wouldn\u2019t be such a pushover after all.<\/p>\n In Donketsu<\/em>, Ito plays the main character Masatoshi Sawada, who\u2019s nicknamed \u201cRokemasa\u201d because he uses a rocket launcher. Remembering that made Mr. Sato\u2019s blood boil anew.<\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cRocket, eh? I\u2019ve had a rocket logo for over a decade now. This guy just loves ripping me off!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Ito was joined on the stage by an impressive group of actors, including Sho Aoyagi, Nobuaki Kaneko, Toshiro Yanagiba, and Yasukaze Motomiya, as well as the manga\u2019s creator Tashi.<\/p>\n On stage, Ito explained that he\u2019s been a fan of Western comics and always wanted to make a comic book adaptation of his own. He added that he was thrilled to finally get the chance and was proud of the way Donketsu<\/em> had stayed true to the source material.<\/p>\n Mr. Sato, despite hating Ito with every fiber of his being, reluctantly agreed that it was a good show.<\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cUrghhhh, you can\u2019t at least say thanks to Mr. RokeSato for everything I did to help your career? Psh, after stealing my whole look, why am I not surprised?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The talk went well, and afterward everyone gathered to take a commemorative photo on stage.<\/p>\n Mr. Sato suddenly remembered he was posing as a reporter while on this personal mission of revenge, and quickly snapped back into character.<\/p>\n \u25bc Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cIto! Ito! Look over here! Yes, there you go! Beautiful! You\u2019re such a handsome jerk!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Then, all of the actors made a surprise appearance in the main venue to hand out Donketsu<\/em> promotional goods. Mr. Sato realized he was indeed dealing with a cunning foe, who used his many, many<\/em> fans as a buffer to keep his enemies at bay. Despite getting pushed around by the throngs of adorers, Ito smiled, as if knowing there was no way Mr. Sato could get to him.<\/p>\n However, Mr. Sato was already one step ahead of the game and had made arrangements well in advance to interview Ito. The deal was to discuss Donketsu<\/em>, but our writer secretly had other fish to fry\u2026<\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cEveryone else might buy into that sexy smile, but not me\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cThree years\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cIt\u2019s time to pay the piper.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cAnd if you don\u2019t\u2026 I\u2019m liable to put you down like the dog you are.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cOh, what do we have here? Ito\u2019s dressing room.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s about to happen. But it sure won\u2019t be pretty.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n With a clack of the latch, Mr. Sato opened the door to Ito\u2019s dressing room\u2026<\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cYou here, Ito?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Ito:<\/strong> \u201cThe hell you want?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cI finally found you, you dirty rat! This is a shakedown!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cHow much longer are you gonna keep my face on your Instagram account!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m sorry, all I can hear is the yap, yap, yapping of a little dog.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve come to square up for that photo of me you\u2019ve been using.\u201d<\/em> \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cStick a sock in it, punk! You aren\u2019t gonna talk your way outta this! Your photo-posting days are over!\u201d<\/em> \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m talking abou\u2026 Whoa, y-you\u2019re bigger in person\u2026\u201d<\/em> \u25bc Ito:<\/strong> \u201cYes, I know who you are! I was going for a subtly pensive reaction to that when you trampled all over it! As I was saying, the reason I posted that was\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc \u00a0Ito:<\/strong> \u201cNow, I want you to take a moment, and really think about what you\u2019re saying to me.\u201d<\/em> \u25bc\u00a0 Ito:<\/strong> \u201cLet\u2019s see how you feel after I show you this\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI hope you\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cWhat\u2026 the\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cNo way\u2026 No freaking way\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Ito:<\/strong> \u201cThe truth is\u2026 I never forgot about you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cWe are the same, you and I.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cI-I-I, um\u2026 Could you stop the camera for a second? I had no idea\u2026 This can\u2019t be\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cSo, what was that about royalties again? Something about me being a dirty rat?\u201d<\/em> \u25bc\u00a0 Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cI never knew I meant that much to you\u2026 I-I\u2019m so sorry.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI see. Well, look\u2026 I do have one more of these.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cYo, knock off the bowing and look up for a sec.\u201d<\/em> \u25bc\u00a0Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI want you to wear this, too.\u201d<\/em> \u25bc\u00a0Mr. Sato:<\/strong> \u201cYou\u2026 and I\u2026 We\u2019re\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n \u25bc\u00a0Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cYou have such a funny face. I love that face.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n And so, Mr. Sato and Mr. Ito were reunited, and it felt so good.<\/p>\n Their matching T-shirts, which read \u201cTechnologia: Parallel Universes\u201d for reasons I don\u2019t think anyone knows, would connect these two non-related identical twins for life.<\/p>\n They say we\u2019re hardest on those who most reflect who we ourselves are. This was a lesson that only a major actor could teach our reporter, and it left him full of gratitude for both the enlightenment and T-shirt.<\/p>\n It will be a shirt that Mr. Sato and Mr. Ito will cherish for the rest of their lives. Their paths may never cross again in this crazy world, but their unique bond will live on for eternity in cotton-polyester blend.<\/strong> That lasts an eternity, right?<\/p>\n This moment of transcendent euphoria was quickly interrupted by an agitated PR rep staring at them and tapping her watch. That\u2019s when it dawned on Mr. Sato that he was supposed to be interviewing the actor instead of trying to kill or extort him, only to form a bond deeper than love with him<\/strong>. So, they sat down for a few quick questions.<\/p>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cMr. Ito, you\u2019ve certainly been in a lot of major productions, but I found your portrayal of Rokemasa in Donketsu<\/em> a real departure from your previous roles.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cThat\u2019s absolutely right, Mr. Sato. Most of my other characters originate within the TV series or movies they appeared in, but because of the Donketsu manga, Rokemasa already has a fully fleshed-out image. While acting as him, I felt it was important to get as close to his appearance as possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to get it exactly right without CG though, isn\u2019t it? I think you perfectly captured his presence and intensity.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI had to gain 15 kilograms (33 pounds), too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cYou were already pretty yoked. It must have been difficult to put on another 15 kilos.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI spent about six months working out. Because it\u2019s based on a manga, I felt the visuals were very important. If I didn\u2019t pull them off, I wouldn\u2019t be convincing enough.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI shaved my head and eyebrows too, so during filming they wouldn\u2019t let me pick up my daughter from school <\/em>[laughs].\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cYou filmed that a year ago, didn\u2019t you? You must be back to normal now.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cNo, not really. My hair grew back, at least <\/em>[laughs].\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cAnother thing that impressed me was how natural everyone\u2019s dialects were. The dialogue didn\u2019t feel forced at all, and everyone\u2019s accents felt natural.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cThere was always a dialect coach on hand to help us. If we didn\u2019t get the regional ways of speaking right, people from those areas would be turned off and complain, so I wanted to make sure I got it right.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cRight down to the dialects, you could feel the production\u2019s attention to detail. It\u2019s obvious that not only the cast, but everyone involved took their work seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cThank you. We\u2019re all happy with how it turned out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cAnd don\u2019t get me started on the action. The end of season two was especially full of suspenseful parts. I wonder if there were any creative ways you all kept the tension high on set.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cThe director, Nobuo Mizuta, and the rest of the production team were all amazing. Filming seemed to fly by, and even days that went three hours over felt smooth. At the same time, everyone just seemed really focused on making it good. I think everyone\u2019s enthusiasm and the constant high level of energy just made everything come together.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cFinally, can you tell me what the highlights of Donketsu<\/em> are?\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019d just love it if everyone sees those scenes where the energy I just described comes to life. The manga it\u2019s based on has a really unique sense of tension, and each character exudes a sense of awe. All of the actors put in a lot of effort to capture that, so I hope everyone enjoys that aspect as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cI agree everyone\u2019s acting was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for everything today, Mr. Ito.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cAnd thank you for such a wonderful interview, Mr. Sato.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cAnd these shirts\u2026 I\u2019m just blown away that you put us side by side like that.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m glad you like them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cThank you again for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Ito:<\/strong> \u201cLet\u2019s go to a ramen place together someday.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Mr. Sato: \u201cI hope we\u2019ll get the chance. Thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n As a part of the interview, Mr. Sato was able to get a preview of the entire second season of Donketsu<\/em>. He felt it was amazing, and not just because his soulmate was starring in it. All of the actors delivered performances that felt unlike anything they\u2019ve done before, and the ending climax completely floored him.<\/p>\n As for Hideaki Ito, Mr. Sato learned a valuable lesson not to judge a celebrity by their Instagram account.<\/p>\n Related: Doketsu Season 1<\/a>, Season 2<\/a><\/em> Sato vs Ito: Requiem.
