Asami Sato

"fire"

- I feel so safe with you.

Asami Sato is a non-bender and the daughter of the wealthy industrialist Hiroshi Sato.

History
At a young age, Asami lost her mother. She lived a life of luxury, but despite her fancy clothes and polite manners, she developed a tough side as well. She became an expert driver and a big fan of pro-bending, attending every match.

While riding her moped through Republic City, Asami accidentally ran into Mako. In the middle of their ensuing conversation Asami recognized him as a member of the Fire Ferrets. To make up for the accident, she invited him to Kuang's Cuisine, an upper-class restaurant, even going so far as to make sure he was provided with the proper attire for it. At the restaurant, she informed Mako that her father was the renowned industrialist Hiroshi Sato. Mako told Asami about the financial issues the pro-bending team was having. The next day, Asami brought Mako to Future Industries in order to introduce him to her father, who offered to sponsor the Fire Ferrets in the championship tournament.

During a heart-felt carriage ride through Republic City Park, she rested against Mako, stating that she felt "so safe" with him.
