President Raiko  –  Dr Sun Yat-sen

Are you once again teasing me with history, show? 

The physical resemblance, as well as the title “First President” make me think so. 

Since Amon's Mao's  Non-bender revolution was, at the very least, dispersed for the moment, will Raiko be the founding father of a new, democratic Republic City? 

Dr. Sun Yat-sen (12 November 1866 – 12 March 1925) was a Chinese revolutionary, first president and founding father of the Republic of China (“Nationalist China”).

As the foremost pioneer of Republic of China, Sun is referred to as the “Father of the Nation” in theRepublic of China(ROC), and the “forerunner of democratic revolution” in thePeople’s Republic of China. Sun played an instrumental role in the overthrow of theQing dynastyduring the years leading up to theDouble Ten Revolution. He was appointed to serve as president of the Provisional Republic of China, when it was founded in 1912. He later co-founded theKuomintang(KMT), serving as its first leader.^[3]Sun was a uniting figure inpost-Imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered amongst the people from both sides of theTaiwan Strait.

Although Sun is considered one of the greatest leaders of modern China, his political life was one of constant struggle and frequent exile. After the success of the revolution, he quickly fell out of power in the newly founded Republic of China, and led successive revolutionary governments as a challenge to the warlords who controlled much of the nation. Sun did not live to see his party consolidate its power over the country during the Northern Expedition. His party, which formed a fragile alliance with the Communists, split into two factions after his death. Sun’s chief legacy resides in his developing of the political philosophy known as the Three Principles of the People: nationalism, democracy, and the people’s livelihood.

MD: Asami came a little later in the development process. Once we had the idea for a nonbender revolution, we knew we’d need a character who wasn’t a bender. At first, we had planned for Asami to be an Equalist spy who was using Mako to get close to Korra. But we ended up liking her so much that we thought it was better to keep her on the good guys’ side. The development process was so important for Korra, because it allowed us to play with various story and visual concepts before the full production started.

BK: AS a self-deprecating artist, I am particularly critical of my lack of abilities when it comes to drawing women. But I wanted to challenge myself and handle Asami’s design alone. I wanted her to have sole old Hollywood glamour, while also having some kiler racing outfits in her wardrobe. Asami concepts by Bryan Konietzko.
