Hah, nice find there - his outline does look similar to Mr. Hanawa. However, in this case, I agree with AndE in that he is perfect and since everyone has their own idea of perfect, that's why we don't see. Similar to the idea behind the characters in the DS game Feel the Magic.

I was reading UY over the weekend, and I noticed how much Mr. Hanawa resembles Soichiro's outline. Hair parted down the middle, big, round glasses, unimpressive physique, not especially attractive or noticeable.

It would have been fun, though, if at the end of the manga we are shown his face. Since at that point Godai isn't worried about living up to his memory.

Judging by what we can see of his face in different outlines and the photo from the yearbook, I'd guess Soichiro looked a lot like his father, except with big round glasses instead of big square ones (and no mustache). I figured he looks like Dr. Shiina from Mermaid's Saga (when he's young in the flashback).

I don't know why but I always thought just because of the outline of his hairstyle I kept visualizing Perm from UY looking like Soichiro. But realistically, like ryogasgirl said, RT prolly didn't show the face so we don't keep comparing him visually to Godai. Maybe he was really truly good looking, maybe he was a....dog 3 3 lol. It's sort of fun to leave it up to our imaginations. Still can't get the freckle faced Perm image outta my head tho

So, you think his eyes are "3 3"! hahaha. Some manga characters actually have these eyes, for example Nobita from Doraemon.

Yusaku Godai gives us a very good and thoughtful expressions about this issue.

I've always liked that plot device. It works on a couple of levels:
First, we don't see Soichiro, so he remains an enigmatic figure for the readers. That means that we don't have as much of a connection to him as we do to Godai and, to a lesser extent, Mitaka. He is a part of Kyoko's past whom she loved but we, as readers, are able to get behind Godai much more easily without the emotional connection to Soichiro. While we may feel bad for Kyoko for becoming a widow so...

It's interesting that we all don't know how Soichiro looked!

As an old adage goes: "We fear what we don't know".

Godai and Mitaka are not only competing with each other BUT ALSO competing with the *mysterious* Soichiro, who represented the ideal of Kyoko's heart. IF they both knew exactly how Soichiro was, they would feel secure and fearless on the path to her heart.

But since Soichiro remained a mystery AND a...

Its funny early in the manga when 'Mr Soichiro' turns around to look at Godai and he has the dogs face. lol

IIRC, he's supposed to be like the "perfect" husband or so, and since everyone has a different opinion as to how a perfect guy would look like, he's never shown.

WAAAHHH!! It's dark!! It's cramped!! I'm scared!!
