Man I was just wondering why kakashi could not recognise tobi by his voice???
I mean obito and kakashi were so close comrades, then why?
Same is the case whit obito's teacher minato. Even he could not recognise tobi in the past.
And what is the difference between kakashi's sharingan and obito's sharngan, I mean they both look different.

When Kakashi knew him he was a kid, his voice obbiously changed in 17 years, also Kakashi has had his suspicions from the first time he Met Tobi, remember how he was Looking at Obito's Sharingan during the find Sasuke arc? He just never in a million years though Obito could be alive still.

I think there is even more clues he didn't recongnise for example: the Eye showing was exactly the opposite of kakashi's, The hair was so similar(not concrete), The fact that when kakashi was going to use kumai on him and Tobi said "save your breath kakashi, that won't work on me" these seem like things that kakashi would at least consider, but when Tobi was unmasked he seems completely surprised.

Weird to me.

Like said above, would you recognise someone who's now 30 and the last time you met him, you both were 12/13? No, in puberty not only your body changes but also your voice, habbits and intrests...

Yeah, those are some big questions. Why didn't Minato recognize the voice at all? Why didn't he recognize any of the other visible features (hands, ears, etc)? Maybe he just believed that Obito was dead so strongly, that he never made the connection. Of course, he also believed Madara was dead, and believed the masked man to be Madara so we're back to the beginning again.

It was only a few years between when Obito apparently died and when Tobi attacked the village. That's not really long enough for his voice to completely change tone or timbre. Minato should have recognized something was similar.

Also there are some things that you might expect a ninja as talented as Minato might recognize: fighting style, footwork, movements, etc. These are things that wouldn't change too much just from normal growth. We could say that Obito completely readapted his entire fighting style to use Kamui more completely, but that's a stretch. Remember, it had only been a few years, that's not a lot of time to make so many complete changes.

the answer is simple, it's the same why anti-obito theory people stubbornly believed obito wasn't tobi. The mere fact that obito was a hero and best friend to kakashi wouldn't be tobi who is working for akatsuki. Obito was almost the same as naruto. He believed in friendship and peace in the world. In kakashi's eye obito was someone who is unbreakable. Obito for kakashi had a heart stronger than him. This is why so many many people didn't believe obito would change his personality. It was also because of the rock that crashed obito. Obito himself told kakashi that there was nothing to do but did they know about anything? they were young. Of course something would been done to rescue obito, madara figured it because he was an adult and experience. He knew it was possible to rescue obito for his own purposes.
