Masaaki Satake (佐竹 雅昭 Satake Masaaki?, born August 17, 1965) is a Japanese former super heavyweight karateka, kickboxer, professional wrestler and mixed martial artist. He was one of the pioneering heavyweight fighters in K-1, after being a member of Kazuyoshi Ishii's Seido-Kaikan school and organization.

He represented the Seido-Kaikan organization in numerous Karate tournaments, winning most of them. After Kazuyoshi Ishii formed K-1, he became an active competitor there, with numerous victories.

He also participated in numerous shootfighting bouts in the RINGS Fighting Network, as well as sanctioned MMA bouts in PRIDE and in Antonio Inoki's Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye events.

Satake debuted in professional wrestling in shoot-style promotion Fighting Network RINGS. Wearing the style's signature tights and kneebots, he had a draw against Hans Nijman as his first match. He would went to face Gerard Gordeau in his second match, but the bout ended in a no contest when Gordeau, after received a kick to the back from Satake while he was turned away, shot on him and attacked him with punches and knees causing a brawl. Satake also had matches against Willie Peeters, Herman Renting and Maurice Smith.
