Information

As a child, Eriko's father constantly was getting transferred, so she lived all over Japan, including Kobe, Osaka, and Chiba. When she was in her first year of junior high school, the Great Hanshin Earthquake hit near her home in Kobe. After hearing the news reporters on Kiss-FM talking about it, she was struck with admiration and decided she wanted to enter the entertainment world. She was a campaign girl for Oiso Long Beach in 1999 and then was scouted by a talent agency.

Sato Eriko got most of her fame from her gravure work, but she got major attention for starring in the 2004 live-action adaptation of the anime Cutie Honey.

In January 2005, Eriko got to be the main newscaster for a news special on the ten year anniversary of the Great Hanshin Earthquake she had experienced.
