MIPCOM Spotlight: Sato Company

Sato Company is promoting Ghost in the Shell, which is set in a post-2029 world where brains easily fuse into computers and technology is present everywhere.

It features Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg with military experience who commands an elite squad specialized in fighting cybercrimes. “Ghost in the Shell is one of the most classic and acclaimed titles ever created,” says Nelson Akira Sato, the company’s CEO. “It is a unique title and proposes a futuristic story about body and soul.”

Sato Company also owns the rights for the films of martial arts icon Bruce Lee in Latin America. The movies have been remastered in HD. In addition, the company has in its catalog Death Note, which Sato says “to this day is one of the best franchises ever created. We can learn important lessons from Death Note, a saga that questions morality and religion.”
