Top 20 Black Characters in Gaming: #6 Afro – Afro Samurai

February 20th, 2009

What’s up people. For Black History Month, we’ve decided to cull together a list of the Top 20 Black Characters in Gaming. Counting down from 20, we’ll be hitting you with a new one each week day until we get to number 1. Let’s get to it:

#6 on TGH’z Top Black Video Game Characters list goes to Afro – Afro Samurai

Yo Afro! Yup. This cat is HIGH on our list. Why? Well, its an absolute shame that this dope ass character voiced by Samuel Jackson was not created by someone black. Originally created as Japanese Manga by Takashi Okazaki, Afro Samurai has come on in a big way with its super successful transition to Anime and distributed by SpikeTV in the US.

Afro

Basically it tells the story off Afro getting revenge for his pops murder by a cheating “Samurai” for the #1 Headband. Afro currently wears the #2 headband, and I won’t give it away to tell you if he gets #1. This game, headed up by Senior Producer David Robinson (who is black), definitely brings you a dope version of the anime. This game sports a unique cel-shaded style that will do any system justice.

Sam Jackson is back with the voice, and it’s one of the only games with a hip-hop influenced soundtrack. (The Rza didn’t do the tracks for the game but had an influence). If you haven’t checked this game out, then you are definitely missing the boa

“Well, its an absolute shame that this dope ass character voiced by Samuel Jackson was not created by someone black.”

That’s pretty racist thing to say, considering that damn near all the characters on this list wasnt created by a black person (mostly white men created). But enough about that, why in the hell, is afro samurai not higher? He is first black person to ever get lead in a anime & manga. He is not stereotypical like cole train, barret, balrog, zack, etc. & he is cool as hell. He should be number 1 really………andf the lack of raven from tekken also upset me as well
