#honestl its cute that aoki has ikumi's nose idk

LOVE their pointed ears dearly, so glad you noticed! Might just be me, but where they make Y7Jo/Tsutsumi look Elegant and Graceful (particularly in Tsutsumi's roles where he has long hair), I feel like RGGJo has more of a Gremlin vibe. Maybe it's just the characters' personalities, I dunno. Would love to know what your findings were when you looked into who Aoki takes after more! I was never able to fully settle on that.

Y7Jo definitely has a darker/more-neat appearance to him, and I'm definitely conscience of RGGJo's 'kookier' persona- I remember I kept comparing his design to a Batman villain for some time lmao. It's a good contrast though, and appropriately dresses them for their roles in their stories (Y7Jo being more of a 'background' character in the shadow while RGGJo is more center stage and attention grabbing)!

In regards to Aoki and his parents though, I'm very glad to hear you're interested in what I've concluded from looking at the three of them:

(You'll have to forgive me using images of Aoki battered for the comparison shots. I didn't want Masato's bangs + goatee nor Aoki's glasses obstructing his features, so we'll have to settle for welts I guess)

I definitely think Aoki took the most after Sawashiro, but from Ikumi he most notably takes after her nose shape and the way it curves slightly (whereas Sawashiro's is more straight). He might have also inherited how more square/round it is opposed to being more long like Sawashiro's head shape. Inversely however, Aoki definitely inherited Sawashiro's jaw shape, eyebrows, eye shape, and more of his lips than Ikumi's (though I guess Aoki's are more 'pouted' like Ikumi's. They're just more thin like Sawashiro's)- he even took after how heavy his eyebags are!

Actually, if you look at Masato's skin textures, he also has a mole on the right side of his cheek. It's not in the exact same spot as Sawashiro's moles are so I wouldn't say that's inherited from him, but it's something at least (they aren't as noticeable on Aoki's skin texture for whatever reason...).
