Takeshi Kaneshiro's mother is Han Chinese from Taiwan. Father from Liuqiu (Ryukyu). Ryukyu population has more than 1/3 Han Chinese ancestry from Fujian China. The other 2/3 are local Ryukyuan ancestry not Japanese. That makes Takeshi a genetically Han Chinese rather than Yamato Japanese (the mainland Japanese you are referring to).

I was twice mistaken by Japanese people as Japanese in Europe. They approached me by speaking Japanese without hesitation, that is they did not bother to ask if I speak Japanese. That is how confident they are by my look. I think native Japanese's instinct is more "accurate" than foreigners acquired observation, and yet they still made mistakes. BTW, my ancestry is from north west China for centuries, many thousands kilometers away from any possible connection to Japan.

Also, comment on this person?

Come on Phead and taxiya, that's a logical fallacy.

Some people will look ambiguous.

Just an example. Some Frenchmen look Southern and Northern at the same time.

That doesn't mean there's no difference between Southern and Northern Europeans.

You know, a Venn diagram.

A lot of people will fall in the center. But some with distinct features will belong to the left and right.

Even if a lot of people fall in the circle, if there's a statistically significant portion on the left and right, then you have a difference.

I don't believe in just eyeball test.

Except Abe who is well-known being Japanese, I can easily find Han Chinese who look same as all the rest, such as the 3rd photo look like Chinese badminton star Lin Dan (林丹) from Fujian. But I will save the thread from dragging on, you can find the photo of Lin Dan and check yourself.

So here is my last attempt on this topic after seeing all your examples which BTW are not uncommon in China.

Let me put this way. Let's say there are figuratively a few types of Han Chinese. Some northern types looks Mongol, some looks Korean. Some western types look a bit central Asian. Some looks southeast Asian. Some looks nothing similar to anybody else. You treat all types that look "foreign" as not Han and only keep the "nothing similar" one as Han Chinese. Essentially you are excluding me, phead, south east Asian Chinese and many others as being Han Chinese just because we look different from your perception.

To be honest, I am not offended by this perception, but I think you are pretty narrow-minded and lack experience. Therefor I am now certain that you are 1. Not Chinese. 2. A Chinese who grow up in an isolated region of China before moving abroad in young age. or 3. you was born and raised in a Chinese community abroad surrounded by people from a very similar regional background. So your idea of what a Han Chinese may look like is very limited. Essentially you are saying that Han Chinese is yourself + your community and all other Han Chinese are not.

P.S. a few short time trips (that you mentioned earlier) in China does not give you the chance to know China any better than other westerners.
