blacks in Japanese films

[john pusateri]

>>Does anyone know of any films where blacks (African-Americans) appear 
in
>>Japanese films or in Japanese literature between 1930's - 1970's? 

     This may complicate the issue a bit, but are you familiar with 
_Alleycat Rock: Sex Hunter_ (_Naraneko Rokku: Sekkusu Hanta-) from 1970?  
It's basically an exploitation flick from a series of five films.  It 
concerns a racist Japanese gang called the Eagles who hate all 
non-Japanese but particularly blacks.  They terrorize an interracial 
gang, the Brats, who seem to be mostly half American/ half Japanese. 
    At least a couple of the Brats are half African-American.  The whole 
film concerns racial tension (an a very disturbing fashion).
