I don't know at what age he started but he did not reach 1p until age 15 so I doubt he started much earlier than the typical pro of his era.

From Go World 50, "The Magnificient Obsession. Sakata Eio and Go", p. 55,
Sakata Eio wrote:I learned to play go just around the time I entered elementary school. (...) I picked up the game from watching, which made my father very happy.
