 Tolkien Black (formerly Token Black) is a fictional character from the animated series South Park, known as the only Black child in the fourth-grade class. His name was originally a satirical jab at the "token black guy" trope, but a 2022 episode revealed his actual name is Tolkien, a nod to J.R.R. Tolkien, and addressed the controversy surrounding his original name. He is a regular member of Craig's group and is voiced by Adrien Beard.
