(Japanese: '''ブラック ''' ''Black'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. He is the male counterpart to {{ga|White}}.

Black is a boy who lives in [[Kanoko Town]], as do his childhood friends, [[Cheren]] and [[Bel]]. If chosen as the player, he will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from his family as a gift. He will receive a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Araragi]]. After setting off on his [[Pokémon journey]] at the same time as Cheren and Bel, Black will at some point be asked by [[Makomo]] to do some sort of quest; in return for its completion, Black will receive a [[C-Gear]].

As well as encountering and battling his childhood friends at various points during his journey, Black will also meet a man known as [[N]], who wishes to create separate worlds for humans and Pokémon. In order to achieve his goals, he and Black will battle several times during the course of the game. It is assumed that Black will also battle [[Team Plasma]] at various stages of his journey.

If not chosen as the player (that is, the female character was chosen as the player), he appears as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. As the player's partner, his name is Touya (Japanese: '''トウヤ''').

The origin of this name is speculated to be a combination of the word "tou" (透, meaning transparent and with the implication of being untainted) and the male name suffix "ya" (也).

Black has a counterpart, [[Monta]], in the [[Pokémon Master Black & White]] manga.
