Her wardrobe changes, but she usually wears a brown vest with two golden buttons, a navy blue jacket-like blazer and a green skirt with black knee-high socks and brown shoes - her school uniform. She often carries around her blue bag with fake sweets. Inside is a taser, a knife and other tools that she might use to protect herself or when committing murder. Personality Outwardly, Satou appears to be a kind girl who enjoys spending time with her friend Shōko Hida. Apparently, Satou is somewhat of an idol for her co-workers and she is admired by the people around her, always being friendly and knowing what to do in any situation. Shōko reveals the fact that Satou has had many stalkers before. She is also popular at her school and seems to be well-educated, practical and usually uplifts her coworkers at work whenever they didn't look like her. However, her personality is all a façade and in reality, Satou is a manipulator who is willing to lie, cheat and even going as far as killing if that means that she'll get what she wants, which is being able to stay with Shio Kōbe. Satou snaps when she sees someone as a threat to Shio or to her sugar happiness with her, such as the previous owner of her apartment and Asahi Kōbe, which she refrained from bashing his head in with a crowbar due to him saying her and Shio's vows when asleep. Although she does understand that killing would reduce her chance of being with Shio, she does it anyway to protect her sugar love. She usually plans things ahead and uses social manipulation to get her way rather than violence, like what she did to Sumire Miyazaki after she had kissed her. Yandere sato Satō's yandere eyes Satou did seem to show some remorse when she first murdered Shouko. She seemed to object to killing her friend, but didn't see any other way to get rid of her. Satou usually uses her aunt as an excuse for her behavior whenever she has self-doubt or feels guilty. This is the only way she can accept the kind of a person she became. Many of her behavioral symptoms are tied to the Yandere trope for her and Shio to live in and spend their days together forever, away from the "corrupted and filthy" outside world. Background HSL dinner auntie Satō as a child with her aunt At a young age, Satou's parents had passed away in an unknown accident, leaving Satou in custody of her aunt. Satou's aunt would often bring by strange men to sexually and physically abuse her for fun while Satou was quietly observing it. Her aunt taught Satou about different types of love throughout her childhood, raising Satou with deranged ethics to accept all types of "love" and to love everyone. Her aunt stated she had to swallow up all of Satou's joy and desires, such as Satou's teddy bear that had been ripped apart by her aunt. She tells Satou that this type of behavior was considered "love". It is because of this type of upbringing that made Satou have mixed feelings about love. She dislikes the thought of loving everyone as she is firmly convinced there should be one person to love the most in the world. In an attempt to find this person, Satou would regularly hang around and sleep with many boys and men, but no special feelings bloomed, only a feeling of bitterness settled in her heart. One day it was raining and an artist asked Satou if she wanted to stay inside his house so she can dry off. Satou accepted the offer and offered to repay him in exchange for the shelter and modeled for a painting. From then on, she regularly visited his apartment. They had conversations regularly while he was drawing Satou. However, when Satou brought Shio Kōbe to the apartment, the artist noticed that Satou behaved very strangely and different from usually. As a result, he tried to strangle Shio while Satou was searching for towels in the bathroom, which lead to his brutal death at the hands of Satou. Satou took over his apartment as her own castle and locked the room splattered with his blood on the wall, butchering his corpse and later on having it incinerated. His paintings can be seen at the back of the room, covered with a piece of fabric. After meeting Shio, Satou stopped hanging out and sleeping with guys and began taking on a part-time job in order to earn enough money to support both Shio and herself. Satou learns about a restaurant known as the Princess Imperial, and decides to work there. While there, Taiyō Mitsuboshi asks Satou out for a date only to be turned down. From there, it appeared as though Mitsuboshi quit the restaurant out of despair of having been rejected. When the employees get their checks, Satou notices that her check was short despite working more hours for the restaurant. While conversing with the Princess Imperial Manager, Satou notices her cabinet, realizing that Mitsuboshi was actually trapped in there. The manager explains to her that she had kidnapped Mitsuboshi because she overheard him say that he loved Satou instead of her. Enraged by this, she kidnapped Mitsuboshi, forcefully molesting him as her way of making him love her. Unfortunately for her, Satou filmed her confession on her phone and suggests that she leak the footage to the public lest she be given her due, leading to the manager to forcefully surrender. After Mitsuboshi was freed, Satou possibly uploaded the video and ruined the manager's life. Shortly afterward, Satou returns to her high school where she is confronted by her teacher Daichi Kitaumekawa. After this, she discovers that he was following her and so leads him into an alleyway. When Daichi was trying to make advances on her, Satou activates her safety alarm, alerting residents and scaring her teacher off. The next day, she forces her teacher onto the ground and stomps on his crotch, manipulating him into helping her get rid of the garbage bags from the pantry under the threat of destroying his livelihood. Satou returns to her original job where she runs into Mitsuboshi. After he saves Asahi Kōbe from getting savagely beaten up by thugs, Asahi is taken to the back to recuperate. Alone with the young boy, Satou realizes that Asahi had connections with Shio when she overhears him reciting the "wedding" oath to himself. Fearing the worst, Satou grabs a crowbar and approaches him. Killing shouko Satou killing Shōko. Later on in the manga, Satou's friend, Shōko Hida finds Shio and takes a picture of her with her phone. Despite offering to hand over the phone to her, Satou slits her throat out of fear that she might go to the authorities about what she had discovered. However, unbeknownst to her, Shouko had managed to send the photo to Asahi prior. As Shouko was the only link that Satou had with the outside world, Satou became more unhinged. Realizing that her cover could potentially get blown, Satou convinces Shio to run away with her to some other location, hopefully a tropical island. The two then decide to actually become married and Satou buys rings for her and Shio. Quotes “It shines so brightly, it’s sweeter than all the cakes in the world, it smooths the mind, this feeling is all I know, how can I possibly describe it in words?” “I can’t go on like this. The bottle inside me is breaking. The sweet pieces are scattering. Don’t go away those are pieces of my love. Pieces of my heart. If this keeps up, I… I’ll go crazy.” “No, I can’t agree to this. You can’t. It’s just wrong. You’re not supposed to go after underage kids.” “Be careful. Women have a strong desire to keep people to themselves.” “So bitter...” “I’ve never loved anyone before. I’ve had lots of people tell me they love me. But no matter what they told me… or what they did for me… I never felt anything.” Etymology The name Satō means "sugar" (さとう) in Hiragana. Satou's surname Matsuzaka means "pine tree, fir tree" (松) (matsu) and "slope, hill" (坂) (saka/zaka). Trivia While Satou is obsessively in love with Shio Kōbe, she is never shown to have sexual feelings or intentions towards Shio. This may be influenced by Satou's desire to preserve Shio's purity and innocence. Shio describes Satou's heart as an "empty, but not broken" jar when they initially met. Satou makes all of Shio's clothes with the exception of her blue long-sleeved school uniform. Satou loves sweets and hates bitter things, most likely because her aunt often left her with a jar of candy. She categorizes what she experiences based on sweetness and bitterness. Satou is responsible for four homicides throughout the entire series: The Painter Two thugs in the park Shōko Hida According to Shouko, Satou wears non-appealing underwear. Satou used to sleep around with boys in an attempt to find love before she stopped doing that after meeting Shio. Satou used to be into candy decorations, some of which still dangling from her schoolbag or decorating her phone case. Satou is an excellent cook and a skilled waitress. When asked about her hobbies, Satou answers with movies, shopping, having tea and chatting with her friends in cafes. She also used to regularly visit a spa with Shouko before meeting Shio and saving her money. Satou believes that TV personalities are amazing and that she could never do what they do.
