Black Anime Voice actors unsurprisingly play a small role in the US anime dubbing industry.
It’s not because they’re not talented, but because statistically – black Americans make up a small percentage of the US.
On top of that, whether you wanna hear it or not, racism and prejudice has its history in the US. Regardless of career choice.
We won’t focus on that though.
I’ll highlight black anime voice actors who’ve been in some of the most known anime in the industry (and so on).
