Sonic the Hedgehog: A Token to the World of Games
Sonic the hedgehog is a classic animation series, which has its roots in Japan however; it has managed to take the video game and the animation industry by storm in no time at all.
Its popularity can be well assessed by the fact that the Sonic series has been able to spread its wings through print media, books, and motion pictures alike. The Sega mascot has become a name to reckon with through its journey from 1991 until now.
The designers Oshima, Hirokazu and Yuji put their creative minds together to invent the fifteen year old anthropomorphic hedgehog who was befitting to be a brand mascot because of his unmistakable blue mane. A team of 15 more people further contributed to the image by dressing him up in red shoes, which was a borrowed infusion of styles between Michael Jackson and Santa Claus. To help the masses relate to him, sonic the hedgehog was granted an amiable personality. However, the amicability was not to be mistaken for passiveness, as Sonic called upon all his supernatural abilities when he needed to defend those he loved. He could run faster than light and he could roll up into a ball in his defence. This could also be due to his low tolerance with anything or anyone who encroached upon his freedom.
Additional characters where also created and worked on, however, our supersonic hero seemed to have created a niche of his own. His main foe was drawn up in the form of Mr. Robotnik aka Dr. Eggman. His ladylove was Amy Rose while his friends were Knuckles and Miles Prower. The distinguishing element was his look alike Metal Sonic.
With all of this, the protagonist for the game series was ready. What Sonic now needed was packaging. The game called for a soundtrack that would keep the tempo alive. Masato Nakamura who was associated with the band "dreams come true" marvellously did this. Post this; Sega felt the need to market Sonic the Hedgehog, so that the audiences knew that the next big thing after Mario, of Nintendo fame, had arrived. This was done by organising a "Wonder three" tour, which prepared the masses for the big launch.
The final launch happened in 1991 with Sonic the Hedgehog. The subsequent glides into a host of other series were very well received. The next series for Sonic the hedgehog was launched the year after and was followed suit by Sonic 3D blast, Sonic R, Sonic Pocket Adventure, Sonic Shuffle, Sonic Rush and the very latest Sonic and the Black Knight. For the year 2010, Project Needlehouse, is planned from Sega's kitty.
While the video game industry was occupied with the consecutive successes of Sonic the Hedgehog series, Sega involved them in engaging Sonic in cameo appearances, popular soaps and snippets. The buck didn't stop here because the print media also took to Sonic the Hedgehog, fondly. Amongst others, the notable contributions by Sonic are those to Disney Adventures, Virgin Books, Archie Comics, and Manga.
With so much said about Sonic the hedgehog it is no wonder that even though he was designed only as an animation character, it is indeed supernatural to catapult to success consistently over the years.

Name a lot of Black anime and RPG characters?
or characters that have a black persona: Example: Knuckles from Sonic the hedgehog.
I do have a purpose for this question its mostly just for fun but my purpose is hidden. The only RPG black character I know of is Barret Wallace from ff7
Chocolove aka Joco (Shaman King)
Afro Samurai
Balrog
Those are the first 3 that came to mind; I am sure I can come up with a lot more but what's the reason for this question ?
Well... In that case include JET from Cowboy Bebop.
Ok, then include Zasalamel (Soul Calibur), Raven & Bruce Irwin (Tekken).
I now also remember Panther from Eyeshield 21.
