Yes. I believe that Afro Samurai has a black male. Mostly they have Asian skin tones.

I have seen one black anime character on the anime Blood+ his name was James Ironside and here is a screenshot of the character.

You are right though most of the time black characters are not made. The only other series I know of that had black characters was Cowboy Bebop but they were only minor characters in the story.

yea have you ever seen eureka seven? and in naruto there is a black charecter he is unnamed but he is a the 8th jinchuririki http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/410/01/

look at that whole page

also in bleach the black girl with the purple hair people will try and say she tan but they are truly in denile aint no tan that d**n dark

but the majority of people in anime are japanese so there wouldnt be very many people of any other race yea most anime charecters look white but either their race is never confirmed or they are japanese

japanese say they like to draw there charecters with kean features which is why the use the nose and lips of white people but most mangaka's story take place in japan there are also very few white people in anime also

and there was also alot of black people in the anime DBZ they always had big lips

edit:

and i dont count afro samurai as a anime

edit:

also these are pics from eureka seven http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/9545/...

There's more but that's the only well known 'black character' today. But like the first answerer said, there wasn't much black character isn't about they're being racist, it just that manga came from Japan and the mangaka usually influenced and based their manga from their country and lifestyle.

afro samurai, usually they are quite racist in most animes, the characters are in like a black face kinda thing

They do exist. :) It's just that they are really rare.

1. Sailor Moon - Sailor Pluto

2. Tenjou Tenge - Bob Makihara (I personally think he's black even though I haven't seen the anime 8D)

3. Bleach - Yoruichi

4. Dragon Ball GT - Uub

Well... these are all I know, since I don't watch that many anime. :)

In FullMetal Alchemist there is a black anime charater.

She works for the military and is in one episode.

In Bleach, there is a black Anime charater, Yoruichi, the cat that turns into a black chick with white people hair.
