seriously? Wow... It would be better not to include any black characters at all. That's how I feel about the females, too, better to have only one or two female ninjas who are decent than have 4 or 5 who only get in the way, drag everyone down, and have terrible personalities...
(Also, anime characters are quite uniform when it comes to skin color, which is interesting considering how generously diverse they are in terms of hair color.)

I didn't realize anime shows had the power to trigger mild political unrest... On an unrelated side note, Hikaru no Go has got to be one of the most underhyped anime series I've watched.[/QUOTE]

Speaking of politics .... in the Philippines Voltes V was one of the Japanese animated shows banned by President Ferdinand Marcos in the late 70's, with the excuse that it bred violent tendencies in children. This same generation eventually grew up to overthrow his decades-long regime in the mid-80's.
