[[File:Sato-susumu.jpg|right|thumb|320px|A monument to Satô Susumu at the [[Juntendo|Juntendô]] in [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]]]]
*''Born: [[1845]]/11/25''
*''Died: 1921/7/25''
*''Other Names: Takawa Keiseki''
*''Japanese'': [[佐藤]]進 ''(Satou Susumu)''
Satô Susumu was a ''[[Rangaku]]'' scholar and medical expert. He was the adopted son of [[Sato Takanaka|Satô Takanaka]], and his successor as head of the [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]] [[Juntendo|Juntendô]].
Born into the Takawa family of ''[[sake|saké]]'' brewers in [[Hitachi province]], Susumu married [[Sato Shizu|Satô Shizu]], the eldest daughter of Satô Takanaka, and thus became a member of the [[Sato family (Juntendo)|Satô family]] of Sakura. He served as a battlefield medic in service to [[Aizu han]] during the [[Battle of Toba-Fushimi]], and, switching sides, served as a field medic for forces opposing the [[Northern Alliance]] in the later stages of the [[Boshin War]]. In [[1869]], Susumu traveled to Germany for study, and became the first Japanese to earn a degree from Berlin University. After his return to Japan, he became chief surgeon at the Juntendô Hospital in Tokyo. In [[1888]], he became one of the first in Japan to be formally granted a degree as a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.).
He later became director of the First and Second Hospitals at the Imperial Medical College, and in [[1895]] became Surgeon General of the [[Imperial Japanese Army]], serving in that position in the [[Sino-Japanese War|Sino-Japanese]] and [[Russo-Japanese War]]s. He was named a Baron (''[[kazoku|danshaku]]'') in [[1905]], and died in 1921.
