Are there any black carton characters?

There are, but just not in anime or manga as far as i know.

The reason is Anime and Manga is mostly Chinese/Japanese shows, there are brown/tan Chinese and Japanese people, but they choose the skin color of the Chinese and Japanese that you'd see most of. I am Chinese and Black, i know how you feel, if your really concerned, complain to some of the companies about it. They probably wont do anything about it any time soon though.
