Daitaro Sato, (30 November 1998 – 24 January 2056) was a Japanese politician and statesman known for his leadership of Japan during the Third World War. He served as prime minister longer than any Prime minister since Shinzō Abe(from 2044-2055), and was the first Prime Minister of Japan to serve since the end of the Yamato Dynasty. A noted statesman and orator, Sato was also an officer in the Japanese Self Defense Force, a historian, and writer.
Sato is best remembered for being the mastermind behind his country's attack on the American orbital defense network that initiated the Third World War. Upon the end of the conflict he negotiated an armistice with the United States before resigning as Prime Minister and committing ritual suicide.
