Why does Gai-sensei and Rock Lee look almost exactly the same? Are they from
the same clan or are they blood-related? Hinata and Neiji look the same and
they're cousins, same with Sasori and Gaara, Sasuke and Itachi, so they're
probably blood-related, or they're not? Are there any explanation regarding
this?

Why does Gai look like Rock Lee?


No, they are not blood-related. When Lee wasn't in Guy-sensei's team yet, he
was often mocked and bullied because of his inability to use any techniques
other than Taijutsu. Guy-sensei was the first one to really believe in Lee's
abilities, and thus he became Lee's idol. From the
[wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rock_Lee):

> When first joining Team Guy Lee's appearance changed drastically. He had
> shorter hair than before that curved upwards in the back. He still
> maintained the Chinese appearance, since he wore a robe and a martial arts
> belt around his waist. After joining Might Guy's team, his appearance
> changed considerably to emulate his idol and sensei.

Here's an image of how Lee used to look:

So, as you can see, he just changed his appearance to look more like Guy whom
he idolizes.
