I feel dumb, who is it supposed to look like besides Amuro?

If I'm seeing it correctly, it should be Shaoran from Cardcaptors/Tsubasa.

Considering the mecha ties, I was thinking Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass (designed by CLAMP, has tons of Gundam influences that it could probably pass of as one)

Especially now with newer Gundams looking similar to Knightmare Frames (helped further with Sunrise being behind both), like Barbatos in Iron-blooded Orphans.
