How could Tosen be african AMERICAN when he's got a name like Tosen, and he's a dead guy? I didn't know ALL black people were AMERICAN. What, none from Europe? There's so much about this thread topic that opens up a can o' worms, but I've gotta say it's UUBer shallow (when we categorize all dark skinned and/or afro-haired and/or black-people-feature-sharing characters as being african american).
c'mon now....you can't have a swagger like that and be from Europe....those shades scream ATL....but on a serious note the topic strayed from African American....to just black, no ones really saying there american.....just black....it's common sense they're not american if they live in japan
and @ ahoaho..... at the end of the day no one looks they're race really...ichigo doesn't look japanase... and chad doesn't look mexican, you just have to use assumptions really.....dark skin = black....brown skin = mexican/latino...white skin = japanese
You know, I always thought that it wouldn't make sense for all the shinigami in Soul Society to be japanese even if they do have Japanese names. Some of them clearly are designed to not be Japanese. Tosen is one of those, but I'd also say characters like Matsumoto and Urahara are intended to be caucasian.
I also have to disagree and say that Chad does look Mexican and Ichigo, minus the hair color, does look Japanese (well, as japanese as any of the others). That's just how I see it though.
Yoruichi still doesn't look black to me no matter how hard I look.
