Kenki Sato

He was born and raised in the secluded mountain village of Ogawa, in the temple compound Myōshō-ji (明松寺).

Kenki's brother Eiken (英賢), also a priest, was a member of Japan's equestrian team of the 2008 Summer Olympics.

[2] Kenki passed on the opportunity to compete in the 2008 Summer Olympics in order to complete his ordination as a zen priest.

Kenki's wife Kiyo has moved to Germany with her husband, where she takes care of his horses Chippieh and Toy Boy.

The next day his parents, who had come to London, visited me and asked if Kenki would be allowed to stay as Michael's pupil, under the prospect of the 2014 World Championships and the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
