How didn't Kakashi IMMEDIATELY recognise Obito?

So he encounters Tobi multiple times. One of which he noticed the Mangekyo Sharingan, another time he is literally right behind him.

Kakashi in the databook has been confirmed to have dog-like sense of smell. Whilst it may not sound or look like Obito, sure would smell the exact same. Kakashi's smelling senses are more refined than Kiba's, who in turn is better than any actual ninja hound. That's some crazy sh*t.

I doubt any of his dogs had ever smelled Obito, nor would he remember the same
smell for over a decade, it's possible he didn't have the ability to smell so well around
those times as well.

Obito's scent changed and so did his chakra.

Kiba who also has a good sense of small stated that naruto's scent changed when he was using KCM and karin couldn't recognize kabuto's chakra. Those who alter their DNA or undergo transformations have different scents and chakra signatures.

Plus obito body was mostly made of white zetsu which they have the ability to hide against any sensor. Its very possible as to how. But it still boils down to plot

Intriguing.

But don't you think its so strange that Kishi purposely went through the precaution of reminding the audience of Kakashi's super-smelling right before they met Tobi? ......................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmbad red herring is bad Kishi you naughty man

Kakashi's dogs can't smell the scent of Obito and once a man thinks his friend is dead he isn't bound to think otherwise. Also anyone else could have taken Obito's MS so the same sharingan pattern isn't a give away. Obito's action at the time were more like that of Madara Uchiha.

Obito probably smells different than he did as a kid; not just due to Hashirama DNA, but also simply by aging. Hormones, etc.
I went away for like 5 years when I was 11 and then when I saw a dog in my hometown it immediately recognised me and played a game specific to us. I did think of the Hashirama DNA but if Kakashi's sensing is really as good as early Shippuden constantly tells us, you'd think 80% of his body would be recognisable.

Honestly the fact that Kakashi meets him multiple times and isn't THAT surprised when the mask falls off leads me to believe that he somewhat knew & had a very strange coping mechanism rather than being clueless.

This he had been changed not only by madara chakra but also that zetsu that went on him but yeah everyone changes when they get enhanced with Senju dna

If I'm not mistaken, in order to enhance one's smelling, he has to infuse more chakra in his nose, so it's not like Kakashi is constantly using this technique, otherwise the same would happen to him as when Naruto farted when Kiba was in beast mode xd So when Kakashi met Obito, I doubt he tried smelling him out...besides, as others said, Obito's smell probably has changed.
