So I’ve seen quite a few Q&As about brown Anime characters… this also has been a concern for me in the past since my skin is brown (which i love ♥ ^_^ ♥)
Anywho… here is a list of some FEMALE brown Anime characters that I think young women such as myself can do! So pretty much, if you’re Black then these girlies will work for you… but you’re gonna have to get a wig (and probably some contacts)! Although there are lots of characters, I decided to stick to the major and important minor characters. You guys can do more research for yourselves if you want to find more! I just wanted to throw out some ideas for everyone cause there is a lot of opportunity for us now! Take advantage of it!!! (like the sexy Brazilian Anime Michiko to Hatchin for instance!)
*Have dark eyes and need suggestions for contacts? Check out these styles: FreshColorblends by CibaVision or get your contacts on http://www.colorlens4less.com/ (they’re SUPER cheap and have the most AMAZING colors for all kinds of eyes… they’re based in China so the contacts are good for dark eyes.)*
*Want to wear a wig? Just french braid your hair into about 5 to 7 braids, put a mesh wig cap completely over your braids, place the wig over your head and then use bobby pins to keep your wig in place. I use around 15 to 20 for my Kaolla Su wig. Look how it turned out on my “About Me” page!*
*You can choose which Anime character to be depending on how light or dark you are (for instance, I will probably not cosplay as Mikoto Minagi but my cousin has her complexion so she could) . The nice thing is, Anime has a little bit of both!*
*What to crossplay? Check out this website which has many more pictures of brown anime characters (♂& ♀) ! It’s a great resource! I always wanted to do Brock (Takeshi in Japanese) from Pokémon…*

You should add Hale nochi Guu to your list. There are a lot of tan characters in that show. And there’s a student named Mana Tatsumiya in Negima! who I can’t wait to cosplay at this years Otakon.
This is soooooo helpful!
i like everyones
Here are a few others:
Miyuki Ayukawa and Sela D. Miranda from Basquash!
Road Kamelot from D. Gray-man
Aku Yamine from Vocaloids
nice list!
Elena from Street Fighter III
Just so you all know, I do indeed read the suggestions! As you can see, all of them have been placed in the list. (^_^)V
I would certainly include Kei from Dirty Pair FLASH. Only the “flash” version works though, since she is much darker than her rendition from the original series.
Gonna try to remember some more! This list is wonderful!
Nice list, I think that this will be very helpful for cosplayers!
You’re missing Hannah Anefeloz from Kuroshitsuji II though~
And even though she’s from a video game, Maria Torres from Trauma Team is dark too.
^o^/
You should put Hallibel (or Harriber depending on translation) from bleach, also, Mila Rose I think her name is, she’s one of Hallibel’s fraccion.
I’ve remembered a few more, mostly from video games:
TEKKEN 4 onwards: Christie, Rumble Roses: Aysha and also Anesthesia, DOA: Lisa, Rouke Galaxy: Lilika, Mortal Kombat: Jade & Mileena, BlazBlue: Taokaka, Jet Grind Radio / Jet Set Radio Future: Pirahna/Boogie
From FFX-2: Donna, from FFXII: Fran, FFXIII: Oerba Yun Fang. I’m sure there’s probably be more dark skinned chara in the FF game franchise, but these are the ones I’m familiar with.
And some anime~ mostly old stuff, I’m old T_T
But I think it’s awesome when people cosplay old school or underrepresented characters :3
School Rumble: Lala, Battle Athletes: Tanya, Gunsmith Cats: Rally (Vincent), Jungle de Ikou: Mii, Miyuki-chan in Wonderland: Jaberwocky, Peach Girl: Momo Adachi, Sailor Moon: Sailor Pluto (is she very tan or dark skinned?)
that’s all I got for now, I hope it helps!
Thanks so much you guys! I will be sure to update the list soon! ^_^

Hi! Great list. If I may add, Nora Floriann Leoria from the series “The World God Only Knows” is tan. Here is her wiki, which includes a color picture of her: http://the-world-god-only-knows.wikia.com/wiki/Nora_Floriann_Leoria
Got a few more for the list:
Kagura from Azumanga Daioh, Merle from the Vision of Escaflowne, Sara & Mao Nome from Macross Zero, Cacao from Knights of Lamune.
I don’t think this is the right place, but in case anyone is willing to cross-dress, which isn’t hard considering he’s younger (therefore easier for a girl), there’s
KAZUMA IKEKAWA from Summer Wars (a movie, you should see ♪)
http://myanimelist.net/character/22811/Kazuma_Ikezawa
He’s so awesome and easy to cosplay as, even if you’re a girl ♪♪
Oh wait, and
STRENGTH from Black Rock Shooter
http://blackrockshooter.wikia.com/wiki/Strength
She’s halfway between darker and lighter (which is where I am =3=)
Okay, okay, last time I forgot…
ARUMI ASAHINA from Abenobasho Mahou Shoutengai
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5246/5254624030_f472eef21d_z.jpg
That’s it that’s it ;___;
Oh man, Arumi-chan how could I forget her? And she wears so many cute outfits in the series too!
Also, from blazblue, Taokaka. At least her legs are that color… hahahhah
oh dont forget about Lilith Sahl from Trinity Blood and Hannah Anafeloz from Kuroshitsuji II.
Thank you soo much for posting this. This really came in handy XD
ooops been to long in an update…. will do soon! i promise! m(_ _)m
I said that would be my last one a long time ago, but oonnnee more~
There is Seychelles from Hetalia (hard to find a picture fans didn’t whitewash though, it’s pathetic) She is LITERALLY african, because she’s the representation of … obviously, Seychelles.
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100208214923/hetalia/images/7/72/Seychelles_Chibi.png
and Fran from Final Fantasy XII (a video game, but still) she’s very pretty.
