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.
Tree + Taco = Tree taco.

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.
