Talk:Aunt Cass/@comment-3444885-20140730194547/@comment-31340500-20170219053128

I think everyone is missing an important detail, aunt Cass' official last name is unknown. It was assumed that her last name is Hamada because that is Hiro and Tadashi's last name, but this is not actually canon. A far simpler and more likely explanation is that aunt Cass is Hiro's maternal aunt and Mrs.Hamatas' sister. let us look at the evidence.

Hiro and tadashi are only half Japanese.

Hiro's last name is Japanese, so likely his father is also.

this appears to be confirmed by the family photo of Hiro's paternal grandparents.

So what about aunt Cass?she doesn't really lookJapanese like the Hamadas. I believe that is because she is not a Hamada. Hiro is half white and half Japanese and the Hamadas certainly aren't white  so that must be his mother's family,  aunt Cass is also white it would not be a great leap in logic to assume that aunt Cass comes from his mother's side of the family. But if you are still not convinced take a look at the other two family photos hanging on the walls in Hiro's home. on the left are his mother and father; on the right his aunt Cass. Look at how similar they look there all most identical; In light of that evidence, I think we can safely assume that aunt Cass is, in fact, Hiro's maternal aunt(i.e.mother's sister), and therefore not a Hamada. (plus I think I heard somewhere the aunt Cass was originally supposed to be Hiro's mom but they altered the character made her maternal aunt, but that's neither here nor there.)  anyway, that just my opinion.
