Eizo Sakamoto (坂本 英三 Sakamoto Eizō, also credited as さかもと えいぞう Sakamoto Eizō, February 23, 1964–) is a Japanese heavy metal musician who was born in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture. He is most famous for being the lead vocalist of 1980s band Anthem. In the 1990s he started up the band Animetal which performed heavy metal covers of anime and tokusatsu opening and closing themes. He also was involved with the anison "supergroup" JAM Project before reuniting with Anthem. Sakamoto has since begun a new project called Eizo Japan which is a revived Animetal-like project with more heavy metal covers of theme songs that were released after Animetal's disbanding, existed during Animetal's activity but were never covered, and covers of Animetal's covers and original compositions.
