Founder of Hosa Technology Passes Away

Sho Sato, founder of Hosa Technology, passed away on May 15 in Whittier, California. He was 81.

Born on Nov. 27, 1943, in Yokohama, Japan, Sato moved to the U.S. at the age of 25 with only a few dollars in his pocket. In 1984, with nothing but a borrowed desk and telephone, he founded Hosa Technology. Under his leadership, Hosa grew into one of the most respected and recognizable companies in the music and pro-audio industries.

Sho’s legacy continues through the company he built and the people he inspired. In recent years, he passed the torch to his daughter, Mayumi Allison, who now leads Hosa with the same mission her father held dear: to create reliable connectivity solutions with unparalleled service, passion, and care.

Sho is survived by his two daughters Mayumi and Yuki and his grandchildren, Dylan, Rhys and Alexa.
