I'm also not convinced yet that that is Grisha in the photo. If it is, he dyed his hair later in life and grew a beard. The other facial features also don't match up quite right in my opinion. Oh come on, it has to be him, this picture is most likely him in his younger years. He had to be at least 29 or 30 in his first appearance in the manga, this photo could have been him in his early 20s as a gentlemanly 1800s guy with his family. Also, dyed his hair? The man in the photo has black hair and so does Grisha. Only in the anime is Grisha's hair brown; by default, if small details like hair and eye color in the anime version of a manga are different than the manga, then the manga's equivalent is what's considered to be canon, right? Their hair color is the same. What are you guys talking about? This is a black & white manga, the hair color doesn't matter be it brown or black. Actually, it does, particularly in this argument between me and Fredericks. As I said in that reply, Grisha's hair in the canon story was always black, not brown as his hair was, for some reason, made to be in the anime. The fact that his hair is black in canon disproves what Fredericks said about his hair actually being brown, which it technically is not, at least by canon standards anyway.

Um... I never said Grisha's hair was brown; did you read my earlier comments? I said the man's hair in the photo looks brown – which is one of the reasons I don't believe it's Grisha in the photo.
