Keita Sato

It's 7:45 on a September morning. A blue Prius pulls into the parking lot at Toyota Motor Corp. headquarters in Toyota City. Sitting in the driver's seat is 27-year-old Para athlete, Keita Sato, who also by day works in Toyota's Production Engineering Planning Division. Keita appears from the driver's seat, parking his aisha (beloved car) with apparent ease. Watching his brisk movements, you almost forget he is wearing his prosthetic leg. He uses his right prosthetic leg to press the accelerator, and his left leg to brake while driving.
