Geometric print and design also fuse with his painterly depictions, reflecting his interest in the illusion of form and space. The portraits offer a somewhat voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of his endearing fictional characters, inviting the viewers to look beyond the surface of the scene. Subtle body language, harmonious colour palettes and emotional architecture - lonely, expressive interiors feature widely in his work - combine to explore themes of class, culture, wealth and consciousness.
As well as being featured in numerous esteemed publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, Juxtapoz Magazine, Visual Art Source and Art Business News Magazine, Hiroshi has recieved an enviable number of honours and awards of excellence for his contribution to the arts.
From the age of three to fourteen, he spent his childhood in Tanzania. While there, Sato recognized where he lived was not home, and where he called home was someplace he hardly ever knew. From a very young age, he understood he was not a participant in his surroundings. When he was eighteen, he convinced a wealthy businessman to invest in the idea of mass production of automobiles for the common man.
By the time he was twenty-five, the ingenious industrialist had made his first million yuans. He eventually met Yasuko , [4] whom he married, and they had a daughter named Asami together in AG. However, six years later, his wife was killed by a member of the Agni Kai Triad after they broke in and robbed the Sato estate. This led to his extreme hatred of all benders and convinced him to join Amon 's Equalists in secret. In AG, Hiroshi met with Wonyong Keum , wanting the latter's help in developing gas dispersing pumps for the Equalists.
Keum however refused to do so, earning himself the enmity of the Sato family , with Asami assuming that Keum had simply walked out on an important deal with Hiroshi. Hiroshi put up a friendly act when agreeing to sponsor the Fire Ferrets for the Pro-bending Tournament. In AG, Asami brought Mako to Hiroshi's factory, where he explained his humble beginnings and subsequently announced that he would sponsor the Fire Ferrets in the Pro-bending Tournament , provided they sported the Future Industries logo on their uniforms.
There, he saluted Korra, saying that everyone was expecting "great things" from her. As the Fire Ferrets' sponsor, he and his daughter attended the Pro-bending Tournament final, which, along with the Equalists' ambush , they spectated from a private balcony. When he was finished, Hiroshi was led out by Tenzin and Chief Lin Beifong and was told to come back if he remembered anything else, to which he accepted, demanding that the Equalists pay for their crimes.
While Korra visited his home, she overheard Hiroshi talking on the phone and began to suspect that he was working with the Equalists. Lin and Tenzin interrogated him in his home and communicated to him their suspicion, to which Hiroshi came up with the excuse that it was all a misunderstanding and he was just talking about business and an opportunity to "strike" the market with a new line of Satomobiles, but at the obvious doubts of the benders, he offered his factories to be investigated.
The Metalbending Police Force searched all of his warehouses, but they were unable to find any evidence. After receiving a tip from a worker , which incriminated Hiroshi as a member of the Equalists, responsible for the manufacturing of their weapons in a factory beneath his mansion, Korra, Tenzin, Lin, and some metalbending officers searched the house and found the factory underneath his workshop. However, this was a trap laid by Hiroshi to ambush the benders; he and several Equalists, using mecha tanks , attacked the group and eventually overpowered them.
After his victory, he took Chief Beifong's metalbending officers captive and ordered them to be sent to Amon. Hiroshi handed Asami an electrified glove in an attempt to convince her to join him and the Equalists. When Mako pointed out in dismay that everything he had done for them had been part of a cover, Hiroshi confirmed it and said that the hardest part was watching his daughter "traipse around with a firebending street rat like [Mako].
He tried to convince her to join the Equalists, stating that his reason for being part of the revolt was to get revenge on all benders due to the death of his beloved wife, who had died at the hands of a firebender.
Hiroshi offered Asami an electrified glove and asked her to join him and the other Equalists. However, after telling her father she loved him, Asami used the glove to stun him and the Lieutenant, allowing the benders and herself to escape to safety. Alongside Amon and the Equalists, Hiroshi later took part in the battle for Republic City , where he observed the operation's progress through a telescope on board an Equalist airship with Amon.
He expressed his disgust at the fact that his daughter was fighting alongside benders, to which the Equalist leader replied that Hiroshi would have his daughter back soon. Hiroshi proudly announced that the Equalists had successfully taken control of Republic City. Once the Equalists had conquered Republic City, Hiroshi was present at a rally of Equalist supporters, giving a speech of how Amon would create a "perfect" world.
When the United Forces fleet finally arrived, the Equalists met them with biplanes designed by Hiroshi and destroyed the first wave. Sometime later, Bolin, Asami, and General Iroh were captured in an attempt to destroy the Equalist airfield.
Hiroshi visited his daughter in her prison cell, expressing his hopes that she would still join the Equalists, to which she flatly refused, stating that her mother would hate him for what he had become.
Resenting her statement, Hiroshi exclaimed that he was avenging his wife's death. Before the argument could escalate any further, a chi blocker arrived and informed him that the airplanes were ready for takeoff; he responded with an order to annihilate the incoming United Forces fleet. Hiroshi turned to Iroh and revealed that he intercepted the wire sent to Commander Bumi and he knew exactly where his fleet was hiding. However, as soon as he left, Naga and Pabu freed the prisoners.
Asami and Hiroshi fought each other using mecha tanks. As Asami hijacked a mecha tank and began destroying the aircraft, Hiroshi confronted his daughter in another mecha tank. He attempt is thwarted by Bolin who uses his earthbending to throw boulders and buys Asami time to destroys his suit and calls him a terrible father.
Asami renounces her father, agreeing with Bolin and throws a disc with electric cables at him as he tries to flee. He is sent back to prison afterwards and Asami takes over the company when the Equalists disband. In Book 4, it is revealed that Hiroshi has come to regret everything he had did and he wrote to his daughter many times, but she never opened the letters.
However, Asami accepts the invitation to visit him in prison, but only to tell him to stop contacting him. He actively seeks to reconcile with his daughter and reaches out to her, acknowledging his past crimes and telling Asami that she was the only achievement he was proud of. Asami only responds by running out on him in tears.
She later returns, however, and states that she feels sadness instead of anger. She is uncertain is she can truly forgive him, but then offers to play a game of Pai Sho, which he accepts gladly.
Later Korra gets the feeling he is actually manipulating Asami. When Kuvira attacks Republic City, Lin releases Hiroshi from prison to help with the hummingbird mechs. He plans to utilize a plasma saw that can cut through platinum to make an entry into Kuvira's mech. He reconciles with Asami while installing the saws onto the hummingbirds.
Truly wishing to redeem himself, Hiroshi willingly sacrifices his life so that Republic City could be saved by cutting into the mech even when Kuvira was about to crush him, which creates the opening needed for Team Avatar to enter the mech, but not before ejecting Asami to safety.
