* Tom Tanaka of ''Literature/DuRaRaRa'' has a generally laid back personality and is one of the few people able to keep [[HairTriggerTemper Shizuo]] under control. He also generally comes off as free-spirited but he's a LoanShark by profession, albeit a pretty reasonable and friendly one who mostly uses Shizuo's [[TheDreaded reputation]] as a deterrent to anyone who might try something. His ethnic background isn't explicitly stated in the series, though due to his darker skin tone and MultiethnicName it's speculated that he's partially of African descent.

* Dave Lister in ''Series/RedDwarf''. Not a Rastafarian - he's either an atheist or a pantheist. Not to mention being a deity in his own right to a lost race evolved from his pet cat. He is rather anti-authoritarian, however.

* Music/BobMarley is the {{Trope Namer|s}} in his song "Buffalo Soldier" from ''Music/{{Confrontation}}''. The song explicitly equates "the dreadlock Rasta" and the Buffalo Soldiers through their struggles with injustice, indicating that from Marley's perspective, a Dreadlock Rasta is also in a sense a DreadlockWarrior. His sons Ziggy and Damian, who are famous musicians in their own right, also wear dreadlocks and follow in the Rastafarian beliefs.
