Project Itoh (伊藤 計劃, Itō Keikaku?), real name Satoshi Itō (伊藤 聡, Itō Satoshi?, October 14, 1974 – March 20, 2009), was a Japanese science fiction writer.
Born in Tokyo and graduated from the Department of Imaging Arts and Sciences at Musashino Art University. While working as a web designer, he wrote Gyakusatsu kikan and submitted to Komatsu Sakyō Award contest in 2006. Although it did not receive the award, it was published from Hayakawa Publishing in 2007 and was nominated to Nihon SF Taisho Award. A poll by the yearly SF guidebook SF ga yomitai ranked Gyakusatsu kikan as the number one of the domestic SF novel of the decade.[1]
