We could wrap it up right here using examples from the Cloud Village, but then you'd say, "That's just Naruto." The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Raikage (leaders of the Cloud Village) all had white hair, along with several other members of their village.For the 14th season of the English dub of the anime, see Pokémon: Black & White. Now that we've gotten that cleared up, let me show you what I mean.
I also mean hair texture like that of a white person (like caucasian or asian).Ĭlarified, the question is: "Why do people with dark skin color in anime and manga often have the hair color and texture of people with light colored skin?" I'm American and my father's family is from Bangladesh (basically India), but I'm still considered black.īy "White hair", I mean hair color that is white or very near to it (like platinum blonde). Some on this list are Japanese and some are Indian, but for the sake of this argument, I'm calling them black. Some will say, "They're Japanese, not black!" or "They're Indian" meaning they come from India. By black, I just mean a person who is clearly darker than everyone else, or they have a permanent "tan". If you've never seen (or noticed) a black person in anime or manga, I'll point out a few for you and see if you can come up with the answer, because I sure as hell don't have it.īut before we begin, let's clarify what I mean by "Black with White hair". With no signs of aging - just a penchant for unusual hairstyles - doesn't it make you wonder, "Why do so many have white hair?" Chances are, if you have seen one, they had white hair. Have you ever seen a black person in an anime or manga? There aren't many.
