Brief history
Dezaki was born in Tokyo, Japan. After graduating from high school, he took a position at Toshiba while studying in the department of literature at Hosei University. While doing both of these, he continued to work on his dream job of working on movie production. He acted as the coach for the nine-member volleyball team at Toshiba. Dezaki also began pulling together an anime production team.
Dezaki resigned after working for seven years at Toshiba, leaving Hosei University in the middle of a term as well. He began working for Gisaburō Sugii's company Art Fresh, working alongside his younger brother Osamu. His first works included writing the script for Attack No. 1 and storyboarding Star of the Giants.
In 1969, Dezaki became a freelancer, directing and writing screenplays for series and films produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, Tatsunoko Production, and Sunrise. In 1977, he founded Magic Bus and produced and animated Shin Kyojin no Hoshi.

Notes
- ^ A video interview with Dezaki published by Ekura Animal refers to him as "Tetsu";[1] however, most publications throughout the decades have referred to him a "Satoshi", and a separate video interview hosted by Channel Office Iwama also introduces him as "Satoshi",[2] as does the Directors Guild of Japan.[3]
