In this paper we investigate the localization of fermions on asymmetric thick branes generated by two scalars ϕ and χ. In order to trap fermions on the asymmetric branes with kink-like warp factors, the couplings with the background scalars are introduced, where F (χ, ϕ) is a function of ϕ and χ. We find that the coupling does not support the localization of four-dimensional fermions on the branes. While, for the case , which is the kink-fermion coupling corresponding to one-scalar-generated brane scenarios, the zero mode of left-handed fermions could be trapped on the branes under some conditions.
