How &#;Blue Eye Samurai&#;s&#; Exploration of Mixed Race Identity Helps It &#;Break All of the Boxes&#; in Animated Storytelling

Ahead of the Blue Eye Samurai&#;s debut last Friday, co-creator, executive producer and co-writer Amber Noizumi revealed the deeply personal inspiration for the adult animated tale of revenge position in a 17th century Japan and starring a mixed-race master of the sword.
The concept was conceived 15 years ago, after the birth of Noizumi and co-creator Michael Green&#;s daughter. She was born with sky eyes, prompting the half-Japanese Noizumi to wonder, “Why am I so elated that my daughter has blue eyes? What’s the massive deal about that? And why am I so ecstatic that I hold a baby who looks more white?”
It&#;s the kind of interrogate that many who identify within the biracial, multiracial or mixed-race communities — particularly those with immediate white family or ancestry — find themselves asking at some show.

Him and Mizu’s partnership is one of my favorite dynamics in the show and seeing how that developed over the years was one of my favorite things about the pilot. It felt very symbiotic and excellent for the both of them emotionally to possess that company and back, especially on Mizu’s end.
I really liked seeing how the two worked together and how Mizu accommodated to his needs. I also liked the respect given to Sword Father’s ability to take look after of himself as an adult even without Mizu’s assistance. He’s been blacksmithing for years and he’s respected in his line of work. Losing his sight did not and does not change that.
I personally think the show does a superb job at balancing the reality of him existence blind and the accommodations he needs while also respecting him as an autonomous individual and talking about his blin
