Tadao Sato (佐藤 忠男 Satō Tadao?, born October 6, 1930 in Niigata, Niigata, Japan) is a prominent Japanese film critic and film theorist. Sato has published more than 30 books on film, and is one of the foremost scholars and historians addressing Japanese film, though little of his work has been translated for publication abroad[1].
The international awareness of Sato's scholarship can be primarily attributed to the one extant translation of selected essays - Currents In Japanese Cinema, published internationally in 1982. Sato has also frequently appeared as a primary source in the writing of other Japanese film historians, notably Donald Richie[2] and Joan Mellen[3].
