I remember the third season of Digimon has a black guy in it. He was one of the staff members trying to get the digi-destined back to Earth, and whatnot.

Of course, I can think of two off the top of my head even.

1. The nameless guideperson from Tenchi Muyo! GXP who helped Seina early in the show, and continues to appear as the show progresses. One great line was in a later episode...
Seina: Ah, Mr. Guideperson, it's been a while!
Guide: Ah, Seina! It's been a while!
Seina: Yeah... errr... what was your name again?
Guide: Ummm, errr... Nice to see you again Seina.... *sweatdrop*

When I was writing translated scripts for GXP, I would refer to him in the cast listing as "The Token Black Guy"

Here he is, kindly pointing to himself so you don't miss how black he is

And of course, the villain from Mahou Yuugi 3D's first and only episode, Coffee-sama!

Black, just like a cup of joe! And fat, just like a tub of chocolate pudding!

I cant believe nobody montioned this yet: Anshi from Utena. That was a big stink here in Japan when it came out (or so I heard)
Black people in Japan? In 4 months I have seen probably 3 just walking on the streets. But they are definately on Television. I watched a whole program about a tribe of Africans that were completely unused to urban lifestyle brought to an apartment in Tokyo and made to live. That was freaking hilarious!

Well, heres something I want to know. Every once in a while a black dude shows up in Dragonball or DBZ on CN, and hes always drawn in the 1920s black face style way(Like the Red Ribbon Army leaders side kick, or too a lesser extent Mr Popo). Most of you probably have no idea what that is, but it used to be in a lot of old WB cartoons, but scenes with it have since been cut out. Its basically when a white guy paints his face black and his lips white. Its supose to be like steriotypical portrail of blacks used in movies because way back when, they wouldnt actually use black people. If any of you have seen, or do see Gangs of New York, durring the play scene where they make fun of Linlcon, there is a guy done up in black face on stage. Anyway, has you might imagine, most people consider it pretty damn offensive, so how is DB and DBZ getting away with it?
