Sakichi Sato (佐藤佐吉 Sato Sakichi) is a director, actor, and screenwriter. Although his twisted sense of humor as a screenwriter has garnered him a cult following in Japan and overseas for films such as Gozu and Tokyo Zombie he is perhaps best known in the west for playing Charlie Brown in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill: Vol. 1.
