In contrast to the Koujin Ochi era, which they split a manga case into several separate episodes, TV specials (1-2.5 hours) are more commonly found in the Masato Sato era, and amusingly, they made different versions of the same opening for each special - [[opening 21]] was used in four one hour specials, and they made four different versions). Until the last episode of the [[Clash of Red and Black]] series, which was in the beginning of 2008, Sato eventually retired from the director role; [[Koujin Ochi]] took over the director position thereafter (Sato did not take part in the ''Detective Conan'' production for some time after his resignation as director, but surprisingly returned in 2011 and served as the director for OVA Detective Conan vs. Wooo in 2011).

Masato Sato (佐藤 真人 Satō Masato?) is a Japanese animation director, screenplay writer, storyboard artist, and technical director. He was assistant director from episode 318 to 332, before replacing Yasuichiro Yamamoto as director from episode 333 to 504. Occasionally he uses the alias Masuku Taiga (大河 桝玖 Taiga Masuku?) for some storyboard and episode directing work.

Biography

He used to work as a video operator at Ajia-do (亜細亜堂). After switching to do directing, he established his own animation studio named Axel (アクセル).

He was involved in the Detective Conan anime production since it was first broadcast. He first did organizer, storyboard, and episode director work for the third episode An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case; during this period, he also had been the director of the anime in episode 162 and episode 219. Afterwards, he became the assistant director, starting with the 1st part of The Lucky Cigar Case; then the long-term director, starting with the 1st part of The Similar Princesses. In contrast to the Koujin Ochi era, which they split a manga case into several separate episodes, TV specials (1-2.5 hours) are more commonly found in the Masato Sato era, and amusingly, they made different versions of the same opening for each special - opening 21 was used in four one hour specials, and they made four different versions). Until the last episode of the Clash of Red and Black series, which was in the beginning of 2008, Sato eventually retired from the director role; Koujin Ochi took over the director position thereafter (Sato did not take part in the Detective Conan production for some time after his resignation as director, but surprisingly returned in 2011 and served as the director for OVA Detective Conan vs. Wooo in 2011).

In 2007 and 2013, Sato worked on some episodes under the pseudonym Masuku Taiga, which seems to be a direct reference to the boxing name and manga series Tiger Mask (タイガーマスク / Taigā Masuku).
