SHOJI SATO (Japan)
Born on September 19, 1982, Shoji took part in the 2004
Olympic Games in Athens where he dropped his round of
32 match to Chinese Bao Chunlai. But the Japanese ace
has picked up his game the last few months and he is
actually coming off a runner-up finish in the Osaka
International Challenge last April and a couple of
last 16 efforts in the Indonesia and Singapore Super
Series.
Regarded as one of the fastest on foot players in the
world, Shoji will be heading to the $120,000 Bingo
Bonanza Philippine Open Badminton Championships with
renewed confidence following a string of quarterfinal
finishes in the Asian Continental Championships, the
Swiss Open and the All-England Championships last March.
