I am kind of curious, were there any African-American voice actresses that voices anime characters in various animes with the voices produced by ZRO Limit Productions in association with Animaze..iNC? I mean no offense at all. Just curious just like how I found out about Beau Billingslea.

The only African American voice actress I know of is the woman that played Lady Une in Gundam Wing (she is of Nigerian descent and was born in Vancouver), but that's the Ocean Group at Westwood Studios and not ZRO Limit/Bang Zoom!.

On the other hand, I think Taylor Henry might be African American as well. He sounds like it, but I've yet to actually find a picture of him Anime smallmouth.

That's Beau Billingslea, who 0Kong has mentioned. Much like how I always call Steve Blum, Spike, I always call Beau Billingslea, Jet, when I hear them play any role outside of Bebop Razz.

I was actually talking about the voice actress, which is the one who voices female characters but of that nationality alongside Beau Billingslea. Just comparing for a Japanese developed video game to have a character's voice by a African American or Canadian descent like Masasa as the voice of LeBlanc in Final Fantasy X-2. This time, I need to find out the female voice actresses of the Los Angeles area where ZRO Limit and Animaze iNC are located. These are the only anime voice actors I am more focused about due to most video games I play with the voices by ZRO Limit and Animaze..iNC and have their own legal reason for not crediting the voice actors and actresses.
