Sano Mizuki is a Japanese actor. He graduated from Fujinomiya West High School, and Shizuoka University with a degree in law. He has a younger brother, Sano Daiki , who is also an actor.

Sano joined Johnny's & Associates in 1991. In 1993, he became a member of the short-lived Johnny's unit J-Eleven and also a member of KinKi Jr., a back-up group for KinKi Kids.

Unlike most of his contemporaries in Johnny's, Sano has neither graduated from Junior status nor left the management of Johnny's. He now mainly performs as a stage actor. Edit Biography
