  We point out that there is a unique parametrization of quark flavor mixing in
which every angle is close to the Cabibbo angle \theta_C \simeq 13^\circ with
the CP-violating phase \phi_q around 1^\circ, implying that they might all be
related to the strong hierarchy among quark masses. Applying the same
parametrization to lepton flavor mixing, we find that all three mixing angles
are comparably large (around \pi/4) and the Dirac CP-violating phase \phi_l is
also minimal as compared with its values in the other eight possible
parametrizations. In this spirit, we propose a simple neutrino mixing ansatz
which is equivalent to the tri-bimaximal flavor mixing pattern in the \phi_l
\to 0 limit and predicts \sin\theta_13 = 1/\sqrt{2} \sin (\phi_l/2) for reactor
antineutrino oscillations. Hence the Jarlskog invariant of leptonic CP
violation J_l = (\sin\phi_l)/12 can reach a few percent if \theta_13 lies in
the range 7^\circ \leq \theta_13 \leq 10^\circ.
