Satou is an individual who possesses culinary skills and is known to be both helpful and intimidating. Despite having romantic feelings towards Yachiyo, he struggles with expressing them due to her devotion to Kyouko. As a result, she fails to recognize any subtle hints he attempts to convey. Satou takes out his frustration on Popura by playing pranks or bending the truth, which Popura unknowingly interprets as innocent fun. When Souma tries to assist with Satous development in relation to Yachiyo, Satou becomes defensive and hits him with a pan, indicating that he is deeply emotional about his feelings for Yachiyo. In the background of one scene from his apartment, a bass guitar can be seen, suggesting that this may be a hobby of his.
In Chapter 219 of the manga, and Episode 11 of Season 3, he confessed his feelings to Yachiyo and asked if he could bring her to see the outside world
