Shio Satō

Chiyoko "Shio" Satō (佐藤 史生, Satō Shio) (December 6, 1952 – April 4, 2010 in Tome, Miyagi) was a Japanese manga artist. Satō was a member of the Post Year 24 Group, a group of female manga artists considered influential in the development of shōjo manga. She also wrote under the pen name Sugar Salt (砂糖 塩, Satō Shio). She made her professional debut in 1977 with the publication of Koi wa Ajinomono!? in Bessatsu Shōjo Comic. Her definitive works include Yumemiru Wakusei (The Dreaming Planet) and One Zero.[1] Her stories were usually serious science fiction drawn in a "subdued" style.[2] Sato regards her interest in science fiction from the patience and thorough answers of her father when she was young and asking "Why?" to everything.[3] Her science fiction influences include Isaac Asimov, Cordwainer Smith and James Tiptree Jr.. A major influence on her work Yumemiru Wakusei was the film Lawrence of Arabia.[4]

Satō became an assistant to Moto Hagio and Keiko Takemiya in 1972, and she continued to work as an assistant until the demands of her own works prevented her from doing so.[4]

Her short story, The Changeling, in addition to being published in the English-language anthology Four Shōjo Stories, was serialised in Animerica.[5] Satō died from brain cancer on April 4, 2010, aged 57.[6]
