  • Beck, Leon Skyps (or something along those lines) in it is half afican american, and theres other black people in it from time to time aswell.

  • Blood Alone, The French guy in it is black (i'm pretty sure he is).

  • Fullmetal Alchemist, You'll see some black people in it from time to time.

  • Gantz, Had some black guys in one of the missions.

  • Hunter x Hunter, There has been some black people in it.

  • Kekkaishi, The one girl in it later on might be black... im really not forsure.

  • King of Thorn, One of the main charcters in it is black.

  • Konjiki no Gash Bell, One of the opponetes that they fought in it was black (i think he was from Afica).

  • Ode to Kirihito, There was a part in the story that took place in Afica.

  • Planetes, One of the main charcters Fey (im pretty sure thats how her name was spelled), is black, and there is also the story on her brother and how he would be treated differnt because he was black.

  • Testarotho, There's two charcters in it that look black... but im not forsure if they are or not tough.

  • Berserk, Caska could be black... but im not forsure on this (i dont think she is, but she might be).

  • Zombie Powder, There was a doctor in it that was black.

  • Eden, Theres people from alot of races in it, so im sure there's a black person or more in it at some point.

Thats all that i can think of on hand, that hasnt already been brought up by other people.

Yoruichi is the only one not mentioned that I can think of.

Afro from Afro Samurai is the only one I can think of that is the main character.

For Jet from Cowboy Bebop, the English Voice Actor is Black, to it may make sense to mistake him for being black personality wise.

Does Afro Samurai count?!?

Can't get much 'blacker' than that.

Straying from topic a bit.... I always wondered why the Japanese are so into afros. I've asked some friends in Tokyo, but even they don't really know when and why it started.

Yes Samuel L. Jackson from Afro Samurai 😛

You know, I don't want to start an argument about this up, but I've seriously never thought of Yoruichi as being "black" (as in of african decent, not as in of just having dark brown skin).

That's just my opinion though.

If you want a black Bleach character, there's Tosen.

is uub black?

Uub is a pacific islander lol (I have no idea) but he doesn't look like Mr. Popo so I don't think he's black.

OH BEST BLACK PERSON EVAR
