Yūhei Satō (佐藤 雄平, Satō Yūhei, born 13 December 1947) is a former governor of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. [1] He was first elected in November 2006, after the previous governor, Eisaku Satō, was forced to step down after bribery charges. [2] He chose not to seek a third term in the election held in October 2014, stating that he had made a mark on addressing the problems that Fukushima faced following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster, and that further rehabilitation efforts should take place under a new leader.
