A Black-anime fusion like no other — meet Sada & The Tenko. This graphic tee blends Black American storytelling, Japanese folklore, and mythic energy through Sada, a modern warrior with quiet strength, sharp focus, and a legacy to protect. By her side is the Tenko — a celestial fox spirit reimagined through Black imagination.
The front features full-color artwork capturing their dreamlike world, while the back reads “As the sun rises, the journey begins…” in English and Japanese — a nod to rebirth, resilience, and global influence.
Echoing the legacy of Yasuke — the first Black samurai in Japan — and Dr. John J. Womble, Sr., one of the first African American samurai in modern-day America, Sada stands at the crossroads of history and vision. She redefines what a warrior looks like and who the title belongs to.
Together, Sada and the Tenko embody balance, protection, and the rising force of Black imagination. This tee is for those who walk with purpose, carry legacy like armor, and understand that every journey begins before the world is ready.
Inspired by anime and folklore, this design is also a respectful nod to Japanese culture, where the myth of the Tenko fox and the tradition of the samurai began. This tee blends those global roots with Black American imagination to create something entirely new — a story that honors both histories while forging its own.
