Satoshi Mashiba is a supporting character, he is featured as a deuteragonist in the Koe no Katachi series. He is Shōya Ishida, Tomohiro Nagatsuka, and Miki Kawai's classmate who becomes interested in helping with Tomohiro's film for the contest, wanting to be the lead actor and become Shōya's friend.

He is usually seen wearing the school uniform, which is a white polo shirt without the black tie. Outside of school, he is seen to be dressed quite smartly. Satoshi is a calm and friendly person throughout most of the story. He tends to be fair and easy going, though not afraid to stand up for others in need. However, beneath the surface is someone who can become very impulsive and violent in moments of anger. The contrast in these two sides of him has been described as rather frightening. The source of Satoshi’s underlying anger can be traced back to his lonely childhood where was picked on by other students for various reasons, in particular his thick eyebrows. This bullying made him feel like an outsider compared to his peers and instilled Satoshi with a great amount of resentment towards bullies and even bystanders. Though not ill-intentioned, Satoshi’s ideals are very rigid and can be seen as self-righteous. The biggest challenge to Satoshi’s outlook was finding out the truth about his friend Shōya Ishida, and realizing that even people who were once bullies can grow to become better people.
