Movie
Description
Masao Sato attends Futaba Kindergarten in the Sunflower class alongside Shinnosuke Nohara. His distinctive round face and shaven head resemble a rice ball, earning him the nickname "Onigiri" and sometimes prompting playful confusion where friends mistake it for actual food. Standing at 106.2 cm tall and weighing 20 kg, he is physically small within his group.
Timid and sensitive, Masao cries easily and describes himself as a scaredy-cat. Despite his frequent fearfulness, he exhibits unexpected bravery when strongly motivated, such as by his admiration for Ai Suotome. In high-stakes situations, like operating vehicles or facing threats, his voice and physicality shift noticeably. He maintains a clean and orderly disposition, bordering on obsessive-compulsive, and proactively tidies shared spaces. His hobbies involve collecting phone cards and insects like crickets, which he occasionally shares. He aspires to be a manga artist, frequently draws comics, and idolizes creator Usuto Yoshii.
Masao considers Shinnosuke a close friend but often feels undermined by his thoughtless remarks, fueling envy over Ai Suotome's affections toward Shinnosuke. He harbors unreciprocated romantic feelings for Ai, willingly obeying her commands even when treated like a pet, though friends sometimes intervene. His relationship with Nene Sakurada involves reluctant participation in her role-playing games, primarily driven by fear of her reactions; he privately resents her bossiness, casting her as a villain in his comics or mimicking her behavior. Kazama Toru and Bo Suzuki frequently comfort him after emotional upsets.
In future timelines depicted in films like *The Storm Called: The Adult Empire Strikes Back* and *Super Dimension! The Storm Called My Bride*, Masao's adult appearance features longer hair. His personality shifts toward increased aggression and coarse language. He works intermittently as a convenience store clerk but faces employment instability, with a three-week stint ending poorly. Core traits like occasional pettiness and unexpected courage persist, evident when he drives a bus decisively during crises.
Within the specific film *Action Kamen vs Haigure Maô*, Masao appears among the Futaba Kindergarten group aiding the Nohara family but holds an ancillary role without distinctive plot involvement or detailed character moments.
