Hmm...Nadia? Urd is darker than most. There was a black guy in Black Heaven. The Shaft brothers in Cowboy Bebop. That's about all that comes to mind right now. I've heard the Japanese aren't big on black people...

I'm guessing Brock from Pokémon would go to the kick ass co-stars section.

There was a black guy in Dirty Pair Flash. I think his name was Mr. Porporo.... or maybe just Poporo... He gave the Lovely Angels their missions.

There's a black guy in the Manga Shaman King also. But I really don't know anything about him. He has big lips for some reason though...

he doesn't count because sin was a pretty shitty movie. that kid in wild horses (cowboy bebop) was pretty cool though. you know, the apprentice kid

And also, from SiN, Kaitlin Palmer, a sergeant also in HARDCORPS

SiN is a video game based anime. I haven't seen it myself so I don't know if it's good or bad.

there were a few black guys in Macross plus, like the general or colonel. They don't have alot of black people in Japan and I don't think that rap and stuff is too popular either so maybe that's why.
