User blog comment:WAFnuke/Second Xin Zhao?Seriously?/@comment-12049719-20131121113820

Though I do understand why they compare Yasuo to Xin Zhao (The almost-alike hairstyle and the asian theme) I think they are very much different, like you said. Xin Zhao has a more "army-guy" kind of feel. A soldier. He seems to have an asian feel because of his name (Xin Zhao is chinese) and his weapon of choice (Spears are widely used as weapons of warfare in China) However, Yasuo is very different. His hairstyle, though looks similar to Xin's, is more messy and looks like the hairstyle of Mitsurugi from the Soul Calibur series. And he's a Japanese samurai. JAPANESE. He uses a katana as a weapon. A Japanese sword.

So, yeah. The only similarity these two have is the asian theme. Not much else. Just wanted to point this out :P
