  • they are black but they just have a lighter skin tone and that should not matter! some of these look wat sexier than the asian cosplayers!! and im not being racist my wife is asian so there you go ;P

  • Dude whoever said that to you is mentally retarded.

  • sure black and brown people can cosplay..... but they can only cosplay the characters that are similar to them which isn't many. Trying to look someone like Serah Farron is impossible.

    White people can hardly pull it off, what makes you think other non asian races can? Only chinese,japanese,korean ethnics can cosplay properly and thats FACT!!  Not even the best white cosplayers like Jessica nigri is close. Anime characters just aren't made for western bodies and faces.

  • @KoolJayJ who the hell deemed you the anime police?? asian cosplayers only seem to fit cause they are smaller and i seen some awesome cosplayers from the western world, and really bad ones as have i seen that from the eastern cosplayers. it is fantasy this is why there can never be world peace there is always that one prick who wants to be better, and put everyone down.

  • @zegan82 no shit, i specifically said your bodies, face and attitude in general doesn't suit cosplaying...... your not made for it, stick to your basic halloween costumes

    you can try to cosplay if you want but you'd never be anywhere close to REAL cosplayers

  • @KoolJayJ you cant judge a race because of the few people that belong to it that you observed.... not all dark skinned people have really big lips and things like that i met tons of asians with similar characteristics we all come from the same place there is no need to hate another because such ignorant things and i suppurt japanese cosplayers they are legit and it keeps them busy so who cares but the same goes to western cosplayers!!!

  • @KoolJayJ I'll put it simple for you anime and cartoons in general are made for the world to watch. Therefore cosplaying is for the world to do. Stop judging who can make it good or bad because in the end all it matter is that people have fun with it. Unless you can be the perfect cosplayer of the world please shut up and get over your stupid restrictions for cosplaying. (Yes I'm a dark skin cosplayer and I have pulled a Dante and had Asian Cosplayers tell me I look good)

  • @KoolJayJ Not because of my skin color but how much effort I put to pull it up and have all the little details for the character)

  • I'm a dark skinned Asian and I've been wanting to cosplay for so long, but I let my skin tone get int he way -_- maybe I can do these ((((: thanks for posting!!

  • Damn, I love my brown skin ^o^

  • That Katara cosplay was SOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!!

  • Toneplaying is awesome, just like crossplaying.

  • (I went to the sukoshi-con and cosplayed a silent hill nurse). I usually look for people that are my tone OR I have features like BUT to me if you can pull it off it doesn't matter what yours or the characters' race is. I'm not being racist but sometimes it is a little hard for black people to find a character ( In fact it's super hard if you're going with a group of your friends and most of them are white) If you don't feel right cosplaying as a certain person your fav.anime uniform will do.

  • Yay. Nabooru~ i cosplayed her once.

  • Keyword: DARK SKINNED. The title does not say black. -_- People these days. I would cosplay Ansem from Kingdom Hearts, even though that's a video game. :P

  • I would SO like to Cosplay as Katara for Halloween :)

  • japanese cosplayers are professional.

    western cosplayers are ...okay.

    dark skinned cosplayers are...kinda...SEXY! xD

  • I like your attitude! Everyone should be able to do what they love!

  • MAN I WOULD LOVE TOO XD

  • please ive seen black peoples cosplays that are better than white people!!

  • At the end of the day cospaly is a fun and free environment and you can be whoever you want from the shows I know I cosplayed as sasuke last year and noone was rude they all loved it my friends were naruto and sakura,both are female one is asian japanese the other white.At the end of the day when you go to a convention they dont judge you by height,weight or race its all in fun.If that was the case girls wouldnt cosplay as male characters and vise versa.Good vid for what you were trying to say.

  • Those tan cosplayers be sexy :D

  • ^_^ Thank you! THANK YOU SO MUCH! you boosted my confidence on cosplaying! i always hated my tan skin bc i looked odd in cosplay but now i love my tan skin! so much relief went into this video for me. = ^=

  • Who cares what race you are?!?! A girl at the last con I went to was cosplaying as Mello from Death Note, and she was black! And she looked amazing! (The only complaint I had about her costume was that her wig was canary yellow. But other than that, she was so good!!) It doesn't matter what race you are. As long as you love the character, you put some real time and effort into your cosplay. If I see that in your cosplay, then I'm totally okay with your race/height/weight etc.

  • afro samurai is not anime and the only on in that pics that are is the blind demon guy from bleach

  • there not black there most of them or middle eastern anime people not black so ya not a one char u showed is back and the only black like people from naruto and from the thunder village and they only made them all hiphop like because they would get in shit for no blacks in it there act dark skined asians

  • I would try cosplaying female "dark" skinned characters...but their boobs are like 10 times bigger than mine. TT_TT

  • Tan characters you can get away with, I'm Indian, but I was able to pull off quite a good Godot/Armando Diego from Phoenix Wright, I notice that most characters represented in this video are female however since Mangaka think dark means "Exotic" and "Sultry", but all in all, dark skinned people, you can just go for it. If anyone comes to you and complains that you're being a black Naruto, then they really have no business being anywhere near you in the first place, direct them to hell.

  • Why do people even care...these are fictional characters from a frickin eastern cartoon. Just because someone is asian or white or whatever doesn't mean they look like the character automatically. Who are others to tell another person what they should or shouldn't do.

    Ya know what All non black people stop listening to blues, rock, jazz, hip hop, rap, and R&B! There everyone happy now? Let's keep everyone from even trying to have fun.

  • They also say westeners and non asian are being racist by being cosplayers :L wtf.... I;m half asian half european and i strongly disagree on people being racist saying dark skin is not allowed and westeners are not allowed! I

  • those are really good only problem is i dont have much of a bust and im like 5'1 and look like a middle schooler hahaha does anyone have any ideas for me? hehe and alot of the cosplays have like little clothes and stuff not that im selfconsious im skinny just idk if my parents would allow it haha i did do ed (bebop) one year though

  • My best friend has tan skin, and she looks REALLY pretty in cosplays

  • I ROFL @ the Rock Lee cosplayer. Thx for making this vid. I was starting to doubt I could be a good cosplayer being black and all. I guess I could cosplay anyone if I really want to!

  • most of these anime and cosplayers are from unknown, or, not very popular anime, i was hoping for like black people cosplayed as "haruhi suzumiya" or "vocaloid" ..or yeah something like that...i still respect this video, but im just saying..

  • How about Mana Tastumiya or Zazie Rainyday from Negima? I'm dark skinned and im cosplaying as Mana xD but yeah anyone can cosplay

  • thumbs way up... cosplay is a race neutral hobby i think those that say we darker skinned people can't or shouldn't cosplay as character we love is ludicris and shows a touch of racism on their part... let's be real 99.9% of cosplayers look NOTHING like the actual character! and who cares? that's not the point of cosplay it's the spirit of the character and the love for it that matters

  • It shouldn't matter what skin color, body weight, race or disability anyone has in order to cosplay a character--As long as you're having fun doing it.

  • You could have made your point by just posting the picture of the guy playing Rock Lee. Good job though.

  • My friend has dark skin and wants to cosplay as Germany from Hetalia. She said she didn't think she could do it.

    I told her to just do it. Get the uniform and wig and just have fun.

  • OMG ROSE~~~!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE ROSE~~! SWEEEET ESMERLELDA AND KATARA!!! WHOOOT! LOL

  • I really didn't want to comment but since this is a bigger topic than what this makes it out then here it goes. I'm black and I enjoy anime just as much as anybody else but I really wish people would pretend that hatred doesn't exist.

  • CHADO!!! <3<3<3 That cosplayer's hot! XD

  • That first girl is pretty hot...great yoruichi

  • some girl told me i couldnt cosplay...bitch

  • @maidwithluv As long as you don't give a damn of what people say, you're still free to cosplay. Don't care what people think or say and just go for it ^^

  • @maidwithluv You should've kicked her ass! Hate bitches like that!

  • @HeadstrongFromDA She was my friend. She told me when we first met, because at the time I don't think anyone knew an anime character with dark skin. << I gave her a pass since she hasn't moved from the south

    .

  • @maidwithluv Oh, maybe it's okay then. .__. But! Everyone can cosplay. And no one is good enough to say to another person whether they can or cannot cosplay! ^^

  • they can cosplay ... im one of the few or many who believe anyone can cosplay as long as you can make it your own ... i dont have blond hair but i cosplay as ino.. my personality doesnt work sometimes but hey its fun for any cosplayer.. white/black/asian/indian(india­)/native american ... big boned or skinny

  • Lamento Beyond the Void FTW!!! :D

  • That Gloria cosplay was PERFECT !

  • 2:04 <33 and that chick pulled off Gloria so AWESOMELY

  • 2:04 <33

  • //is off to buy cosplay outfit

  • Anthy from Revolutionary Girl Utena :D

  • Someone was trolled hard enough to make this video.

  • sometimes when i watch asian , white, japanese, tokyo ,mexican people cosplay i feel jealous and mad cause i can't cosplay my favorite anime characters cause i'm black :( and there's hardly any black anime characters it's not fair..black people are awesome too :) im black and proud im 11 this year for halloween im being TOBI or SOMEONE ELSE

  • these are anime characters not cosplayers xD and half of them are just tan not black O: but yea i get it >D

  • @xWolfyChanx ... lol half of the vid was anime characters other half was cosplayers

  • @xWolfyChanx The cosplayer part is the other half of the video. Did you watch the whole thing?

  • @buspoet

    YES

    I

    DID

  • @xWolfyChanx They didn't say "Black", they said "dark skinned."

  • @TerraUchiha1  ok?

  • @TerraUchiha1 yep, pretty much the same thing :D

  • @xWolfyChanx If you watched the whole thing, there were both amine characters and cosplayers. -_-'

  • @cuddlebro cool story bro! :D bye

  • What's the title of the 2nd song? >:) I really need to know.

  • People say that about Freckles too T^T

  • @NarutoAddicted95  people with freckles cant cosplay? xD

  • @xWolfyChanx Haha, they can. I myself have freckles EVERYWHERE but then again in a redhead so it's typical. What I ment was, it's difficult to cosplay what you want to without looking... well, strange. Example being, I could cosplay Axel, Reno, Risa (Lovely Compley), or any other redheaded anime character and look semi-decent BUT I'm about to do a Sebastian Michaelis crossdressing (dont ask XD) cosplay and it looks odd but it works.. for the most part. LOL. Not that it looks bad, :D

  • @NarutoAddicted95 long comment o.O

  • This makes me so happy to see! Thank you so much for this video! ♥ \(♥^0^♥)/ ♥

  • Black People are Awesome!

  • i like this .. !!

  • Great vid!

  • Comment removed

  • can anyone suggest someone for me to cosplay as? I'm black but not dark and I'm a thicker girl [but not fat] but someone who isnt dressed to slutty???

  • @blackrockerchic17 What will you not wear?? O_o there is a few ideas, but in my head they may be "slutty" to you.

  • @BlakOpzDragon well nothing with my tummy showing, and no super short shorts/skirts. and not too tight, like I said I'm not skinny. But it doesnt even matter I gave up, I'm going as my maplestory character [battle mage]

  • lol! mario bros!

  • You forgot Sid from Soul Eater.. :P

  • can you try to find a girl cosplaying as miku hatsune thats black. plzzzzzzzzzzzzz..i wanna see how it lokks cause im gonna be cosplaying as miku and in dark but not black indian colored.

  • @maplecrystaldream Honestly, all you would need to do is just get the look. Everything else doesn't matter. You can still do it regardless. But if you need a design to go by... youtube.com/watch?v=F1BvlaBBkG­E Hope it helps. :)

  • Esmeralda! :D

  • Ehhh why the iluminati music in the beginning D: STOP THE MUSIK!!!!!

  • Mayuri Kurotsuchi from Bleach :D 

  • Yep. I agree.

  • Mimiru from .hack/

  • I am black and I went to my first Anime Convention last week. I went as Matsumoto and was a little hesitant at first because I am plus-sized and black. But I had sooo much fun and everyone, all races there, were very friendly and accepting. I can't wait to Cosplay again. For those that have a problem with my Cosplay I don't even care. While they are raising their blood pressure being mad, I'm having the time of my life having fun!!!

  • what no Brock??

  • @iyuy32 brock isnt black......

  • @xWolfyChanx hows brock not black hes the only dark skinned person in pokemon =-=

  • @iyuy32 idk he never really looked black to me >.>

  • The bushy brow sensei was funny

  • I liked it I'm not black or anything but I've saw a really cute L who was dark skinned she pulled it off well

  • thats right you show that dark skin people can cosplay

    but i didnt like the nadia cosplay

  • The Gai one kinda creeped me out

  • Thumbs up!! Thanks for putting this up, reminds me that I'm not alone.

  • Thank you so much !! You help me for my future cosplay !! =)

  • You know, it was enspiring to me at first since Im half black and have tan skin, and love to cosplay... but you lost me at Gai Sensei -__-

  • BRAVO!!!!!GOOD ON YOU.Only a troll would say S**t like that.If you cosplay it's the sharing with more people that is what makes it worth it

  • Who's 2:10 With the green hair???

  • @riku12494 That's Nel, from Bleach.

  • It shouldn't matter what character a dark-skinned person cosplays. The same way goes for a light-skinned person cosplaying a dark-skinned character. WITH the acception of culture. For example, Agni and Prince Soma are mentioned to be from India, so it would make more sense if a light-skinned person tried to darken their skin at least a little for one where their origin is actually mentioned.

    This is coming from a naturally super-pale Soma cosplayer.

  • dont put black and indian people together.

  • @TropicalLove07 I am Indian and black. Native American Indian at that.

  • @erem456 me too :DD lol idk why i wanted to say that rofl

  • Grrrr I'm puerto rican and black and I wish that when I watch an anime they had some of us in them and tat katara is amazing

  • they need more black people in anime

  • omg those guying cosplaying mario were to fuuny!!! and fat rock lee!!! XD

  • thumbs way way up for you, ive seen too many white people cosplay japanese characters (im not pointing fingers just drawing a comparison) yet the same people make a fuss when a coloured person cosplays a white or japanese character, its all about fun in the end anyway, btw the chick at 2:17 looks awesome, you go girl!

  • I would fuck the shit out of that guy at 1:38.

  • no one in this video is actually black like straight out of Africa .Theses cosplayers are dark brown or light brown. you people have yet to see BLACK skin so stop the comments about how dark these cosplayers are compared to the original characters.All of the time its not about race or skin color.not even the Japanese care about the skin so why should we.

  • whao that afro samurai was crazy sick !!!

  • Dude, the anime characters are tan... the cosplayers are like black wtf.... Black isn't the same as tan.

  • @CrimsoniteThief who cares

  • @mewpeach9 wtf? no one, Im just saying

  • @CrimsoniteThief I'm just telling you.

  • @CrimsoniteThief it really doesn't matter if their tan or black because it still looks good and matches the cosplayer perfectly your too busy concentrating on the color of the skin than the quality of the costume or how well the cosplayer looks just like the character.

  • Comment removed

  • lol tan is one thing,black is another,this are just tanned characters not black

  • @koberamone1989 tan and black isn't far apart from each other at all. It's easier to compare a fair skinned person with a dark skinned person or a tan skinned person than with a dark and tan skinned person. If you've never seen the character's skin color change than that is the design for the character and guess what they are all Japanese unless the creator says other wise.

  • @koberamone1989 BTW none of them are as dark as you make em seem to be

  • The katara was Amazing

  • ANSEM!! :D

    (I cosplayed as Halibel and Nariko, but that Nariko in this vid is BEAUTIFUL!)

    I'm so glad I found this! So many more ideas! Thank you! (I hate this song tho, sorry had to say ;D)

  • Hey ppl, what you call "black people" (what i respectfully call "afroamerican") is different than dark skinned. Let's respect each other, and be tolerant. We are not that different that from another (:

  • @KyoAkurameshi we actually prefer to be called black people lol just lettin u know hun :)

  • @harlsandivy

    Lol yeah because not all black people are african lol Why not just say black american

    I also hate how when you ask a white person what they are they'll say german or something...it's like..no you're not you've never set foot in Germany, you're American..white American, lol.

  • @DarkSkinKawaii lolif you think about it they shouldnt even call themselves american...only native american should XD

  • Gloria is haaawt :D

  • im all go for guy sensi from naruto but, black show not that be that happy nor that flexible

  • asuma is black?! I mean I'm black too but I thought he was white

  • Cosplay who you want to and have FUN!!!

  • knowone said brown skinned people cant cosplay!?!?! im brown and i love to cosplay, to real cosplayers knowone cares about what color your skin is or who you cosplay as. i cosplayed as naruto once lol and know one cares. so knowone...scratch that i cant speak for everyone but out of everyone i meet cosplaying none of them even brough up my skin tone.

  • i've heard that too, once. and it surprised me soo much

  • Michiko from Michiko to Hatchin and Kaolla Su from Love hina too!

  • thank you for this video. im puerto rican and have dark skin (like chocolate) and people are being so racist towards me and even pushed me to the point of saying "i wish i was white"

    i think people shuld stop being such assholes and act mature.

  • Me and my younger brother are dark skinned (hes darker than me) cosplayed once and he was kakashi and when we got in he got lots of pics taken with him.My cosplay wasnt as mainstream but I was dancing in front of the building and got pictures taken of meh :D

  • lmfaoooooooooooooo rock lee

  • I don't understand why some people think "dark-skinned" equals black. Dark skinned is anywhere from tan to black.

    And there are times where lighter skinned people cosplay darker skinned characters. Some are very pale and cosplay tan characters that aren't very dark. So, it's even xD

  • LOL Awsome Maito Gai; its his brother from another mother (sorry I had to get it out)

    Dark skinned people (not just black people) can cosplay. I can imagine there are a bunch of Mexican Links, Black Kakashis, and Puerto Rican Spike Spiegals etc.

    Dark skin rules!

  • wtf??!?!?  2:05

  • ewww lee

  • oh god, thank you for this video. I have been debating wither to cosplay as Ciel Phantomhive and this video just insured me that I should. Thank you so much for this!

  • Neliel!!!!!! I heart bleach!

  • and the chick with the skull on her head wearing green??

  • Who's the bunny girl?? 0___o

  • omgsh the afro samurai! was awesome XD

  • those were some hot ass cosplayers. including gai!

  • hands up to the guy sensei lol (EB20)

  • @mrmike677 whats dat =/

  • 2:06 that scared me but made me laugh

  • HOLY CRAP, THAT AFRO SAMURAI MADE ME JIZZ MY PANTS.

  • 2:03!!! awesome

  • Yeah darker skinned... but not dark enough to be cosplayed by black people. And Stereo types for the characters that are black tend to be very overblown, usually having afros or cornrows at some point in time (male or female) or being so buff they could crush a tank cannon shell on their forhead like a soda can and perm thier hair with napalm (mostly guys sometime girls One piece Barok Works is a good example) with biglips and TALL. The only shorter thin guy i can think of was on Blood+

  • I keep trying to tell people, there is a difference in "black" and "dark skinned". Just about all "black" anime characters are just dark skinned with caucasian features. Heck, Im black and I want to go cosplay at events, but there's hardly any character I can play as. The extreme closest I can play as is the father from Mitsudomoe.

  • Wow about 95% of those cosplay girls were fine as hell. Where you find dem at?

  • Some of those selections were Middle Eastern, Japanese and tanned white people....good intentions though.

  • 1:49, 2:16 & 1:55 madd sexy.

  • Thank you for making this video (, but most of the characters aren't black)

    but u have influenced me to become........Yoruichi in the next con

  • THESE MOTHERFUCKERS ARENT BLACK!!!!

  • @hiphop2318 I think the video inly means "Dark skinned" people. Black people aren't the only people with dark skin.

  • Thera are Anime characters with dark skin but some of those were pretty bad examples.

  • The Mario Bros made me smile, and I thought Katara was adorable. :)
