Tom Sato

Tom is a character from the It Lives In The Woods book. He is first seen in Chapter 4.

Appearance
Tom has long black hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. He wears a pair of sports glasses and Westchester Wolves basketball jersey (navy blue and white with black outlines) with the number 17 on the front.

Personality
Like Andy, Tom is frustrated at the basketball team’s exclusion of minorities like them. In contrast to Andy, who just joined the team and has a seemingly naive view of it, Tom has been on the team since junior high and has endured discrimination from them, which contributed to his pessimism. Nevertheless, he still has high hopes that Andy will contribute his best to the team.

Andy
As the only two Asians in the basketball team, Tom and Andy are regularly excluded from various exercises during basketball practice, which they bonded over.
