Unlike many characters in the world of The Legend of Korra, Asami is not able to "bend", or telekinetically create, control and manipulate any of the four elements: water, earth, fire or air/wind. She is the only child of wealthy industrialist Hiroshi Sato, who invented the "Satomobile" (car) and whose company, Future Industries, is headquartered in Republic City.[6] Asami is a skilled engineer, pilot and driver, and a competent unarmed combatant.
Asami has been well-received with publications. Many reviewers were content with her growth past being a love interest for Mako, and felt the relationship was not worth reviving. However, reception to her relationship with Korra was mostly positively received.
