Hoshi Sato /ˈhoʊʃi ˈsÉ'Ë toÊŠ/, played by Korean American actress
Linda Park, is a fictional character in the science fiction television
series Star Trek: Enterprise.Sato, born in Kyoto, Japan on July 9,
2129,[citation needed] is the communications officer aboard the
starship Enterprise (NX-01), and a linguist who can speak more than
forty languages (polyglotism), including Klingon. She is an
acknowledged linguistic genius and expert at operating the universal
translator, a key instrument in allowing the crew to communicate with
alien cultures.Relatively little of Sato's background was explored in
the series. She briefly suffered from space sickness and
claustrophobia. The fourth season episode "Observer Effect" revealed
that she was once dishonourably discharged from Starfleet for running
a floating poker game and breaking the arm of a Starfleet instructor
who tried to break it up (she has a black belt in Aikido). She was
subsequently allowed to reenlist because of her exceptional linguistic
skills.Before posting to the Enterprise, she taught linguistics in
Brazil; it is not known whether she was an active Starfleet officer at
the time, or was reactivated to serve under Jonathan Archer. She later
(also in "Observer Effect") expressed regret at leaving without saying
goodbye to her students. Hoshi Sato Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
