Saito is from Sapporo, Hokkaidō.[1] He belonged to Asahi Kasei after graduation from Kokushikan University in 2000.

Saito was good at Uchimata and Newaza in high-school days and was expected to get medal of Olympic Games or World Championships in the future.[1] But he was not able to use the skill of them by the trouble of knee like Anterior cruciate ligament injury since 2000.[1]

In 2005, he won a gold medal at the Asian Championships and All-Japan Selected Championships with the skill that he learned newly like Kata guruma, Ōuchi gari and Kuchiki taoshi. But he was not chosen as a Japanese representative at the World Championships held in Cairo.

He has coached judo at Asahi Kasei since 2010. Among his students is Tatsuki Masubuchi Yohei Takai and so on.[2]

His younger brother, Masamichi (順道) is also famous judoka and won a gold medal at the Kodokan Cup in 2001.

gollark: This... seems like an odd relationship with your religion, no offence?
gollark: oops.
gollark: Yes, perhaps apiological profiling *can* be misplaced.
gollark: Religions often lean on the "you are a horrible sinner so go believe X and you'll be saved", and "believe X or you'll go to bad place™".
gollark: I did mean the "find another religion" thing somewhat jokily, but it is still quite weird that somehow people are fine with being implicitly told they're terrible and will be punished horribly because it's religion.
