Who is the daughter of Hiroshi Sato?

The story behind the answer

Hiroshi Sato's daughter is Asami Sato. She is introduced as a wealthy, highly intelligent industrialist and becomes one of Korra's closest allies.

Asami is the only child of Hiroshi Sato, founder of Future Industries, a company that produces automobiles and other advanced technology in Republic City. Although she initially admires her father, she discovers that Hiroshi secretly supports the Equalists and has helped manufacture weapons for their revolution. This revelation damages their relationship and places Asami firmly alongside Korra, Mako, Bolin, and the pro-bending community.

Asami is not a bender, but she is an accomplished engineer, driver, martial artist, and strategist. She eventually takes control of Future Industries and redirects it toward helping the United Republic. Her combat skills, especially with an electrified glove, often lead viewers to mistake her for a bender.

A common mix-up is confusing Asami with Pema, Mako, or Korra, who are important characters but are not Hiroshi's daughter. Hiroshi's complicated relationship with Asami becomes a major emotional thread in Book Four: Balance.
