History[]
Hiroshi Sato is a non-bending, barrel-chested businessman with a big personality whose turn to villainy started with the death of his wife and Asami's mother, who was killed by the Agni Kai Triad. His actions nearly leg to him killing his own daughter in combat. Hiroshi was later arrested by Lin Beifong and time in prison caused him to realize the surrounding of his ways.
Despite Hiroshi's failed attempts to reconcile with his daughter, he later assisted Team Avatar defend Republic City from Kuvira, only to be killed by the latter. As a result, Asami became distrusting of Kuvira during the events of Turf Day for what she did to Hiroshi but soon forgave her when the former Earth Kingdom General atoned for her own mistakes.
