Satō Manabu

Satō Manabu (佐藤 学) attempted SASUKE three times. He retired from SASUKE after the 13th tournament and moved on to Viking.

SASUKE
He debuted in SASUKE 10, where he wore #968. Though his run was all cut, it is known that he failed the Tarzan Rope. His run can be seen in the intro to the SASUKE 10 broadcast.

Sato returned in SASUKE 12 and performed much better. He barely managd to clear the First and Second Stage with 00.75 seconds and 1.4 seconds left respectively. In the Third Stage, his grip gave way on the Cliffhanger, and he was the second of four men to fail it that day.

He returned in SASUKE 13, but was retired early by the re-designed Jump Hang. He got high enough, but just could not hold onto the ropes and fell there.

VIKING
Sato competed in VIKING 2 and cleared the First Marine Stage with 03.49 seconds left. In the Second Adventure Stage, he ultimately timed out on the final obstacle, the Heavenly Climb.
