Dark-skinned characters in Japanese animation are almost always supporting characters, though there are a few exceptions. We have listed a number of dark-skinned 'positive' characters below. Brown-skinned Asian Indian/Native American-inspired characters outnumber African/African-looking characters, and are generally presented in a more attractive light than black-skinned characters. Since there are relatively few black characters, it matters all the more when some of them, even though they are 'good guys', play into stereotypes of dark-skinned people. Even in the absence of overt stereotyping, many of these characters die quick deaths and don't last beyond an episode or story arc. More dark-skinned characters may also be found in our manga character list. Warning: spoilers may follow.

After becoming disillusioned with the greed and snobbery of his father, Arshad renounced his faith and turned into a violent criminal.

Character Name Ahmad Anime/Manga Title Yugo the Negotiator Appearance short straight black hair, dark gray eyes Ethnicity Pakistani Background Ahmad appears early in 'Scorching Bonds', the First Negotiation arc (DVDs 1-3). He is the third son of a Karachi imam. His father Haji Rahmani was formerly a sheikh of Sindh. Ahmad meets the main character Yugo when the Japanese negotiator comes to Ahmad's travel agency to seek news of Haji Rahmani.

A kind, yet tough man, Ahmad is righteously outraged when he sees the exploitation of the non-Muslim street dancer Laila. Ahmad negotiates with Laila's abusive handler for her freedom, offering to pay the money needed to redeem her. When the obstinate handler refused to wait for Ahmad to return with the money, Ahmad's companion Yugo, moved by Ahmad's determination and compassion, redeems Laila with his own watch. Both Ahmad and his father return later in the story arc to provide critical support for Yugo, and can be regarded as heroes in their own right. Yugo the Negotiator's portrayal of Muslim men is far more balanced, fleshed out and positive than the simnplistic stereotypes of sexist and fanatical Muslim men in Western media. For every negative Muslim male character in the Japanese story, there is a positive Muslim male character to balance him out. Even the main villain proves to be much more complex than a simple 'bad guy', and is presented as someone worth taking the time to understand.

Gungrave follows its main character through a variety of stages on a path of revenge. While the game play received moderate reviews, Gungrave's acclaim comes from the character designs provided by series creator ( ) and mechanical designs provided by ( series, series, series). Both artist's respective styles helped give the game a distinct feel, which (along with fan support) helped Gungrave translate from a video game to an as well as a video game sequel for the entitled in 2004. Cinematics were provided by Ikusabune Co., Ltd., which developed the sequel with Red Entertainment's supervision. Contents • • • • • • • • • • • Gameplay [ ] As a third-person shooter, Gungrave focuses entirely on combat and forgoes the puzzle solving aspects of some of its forebears. The player advances through hallway-like stages, but has a free range of motion in these areas.

The player confronts wave after wave of fighters en route to an end-level boss. Combat varies between gunplay with enemies at a distance and simple melee combat at close range, and the game rates the amount of flair the player uses to destroy everyone and every thing in sight. Beyond the Grave is equipped with a damage-absorbing energy shield that can absorb a large amount of damage in addition to his life bar. This shield appears as a blue bar alongside Beyond the Grave's life bar in the game's heads-up display. When the shield is fully depleted, the player is highly vulnerable and further damage reduces the character's health level rapidly. However, the shield will recharge fully if no damage is sustained for a brief period of time. By performing well during stages, the player can unlock special attacks such as machine guns or rockets launched from the on Beyond the Grave's back.

These can be used by charging the beat meter which is represented by a skull on the top left corner of the game's heads-up display. To build the beat meter, Beyond the Grave must perform combos sometimes numbering in hundreds of hits (destroying enemies or practically anything in the game environment). Strategy is required in setting up combos that are as long and devastating as possible, which helps to carry on the over-the-top action of the game. Stages and some important events within stages are separated by anime cut-scenes featuring art by Nightow.

This is where the game's story takes place. Characters are expanded on and the player is given back story that is not obvious through gameplay alone. • • IGN Staff... Retrieved January 22, 2007. • ^ David Smith... Retrieved January 17, 2007.
