Sakamoto became one of the few original crew members from '''MMPR Productions''' to remain with the production following its move to [[New Zealand]] in 2003 when the franchise was transferred from [[Saban Entertainment]] to [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]]. Sakamoto was replaced as stunt coordinator by Mark Harris, although continued directing through ''Ninja Storm'' and thereafter stayed on as executive producer, no longer choreographing or directing. Disney stopped producing new seasons following ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'', eventually selling the franchise to Saban Brands. in 2010. In 2011, Sakamoto returned as an action director for ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]]'', which premiered in 2011.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}}
Sakamoto and Alpha Stunts were scapegoated by producer and writer and showrunner [[Bruce Kalish]] for the heavy use of pyrotechnics in incarnations of the franchise from 2005 through 2008; which have been dubbed ''Kalishplosions'' by fans, after Kalish himself. Kalish maintains he had little to do with them and blaming Sakamoto, despite Mark Harris being the responsible party to their direction and choreography.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}
