Are there any Anime or Manga writers that isn't Japanese?

So if you were write a story in america and wanted it to become and anime, what would it take to make it an anime or manga?
Because I know if it's made in america or anywhere else it wouldn't be called an anime.
Like the awatara the Last Air Bender or Korra.
Are there a lot of steps you have to go through for it to be call an anime?


I know this is weird question, so I don't expect many answers.

I do not think it would be "Anime" then.
There are collaborations, sure, both in Japan, and with Americans and it is basically the difference in East & West.

Let's say you are American and wish to write that style and form... you would either go to Hapon or produce your own versions here but they would have to stand on their own, with their own titles under American categories and book names, etc. Nothing prevents someone from incorporating, but if it is American, it would not be an Anime. Manga is written different than American comics, so I would guess you would have to read legalites of publishing if you ilathala it yourself or ask your publishing house as far as Manga.

Afro Samurai had Japanese collaborators but is American made ( hope i'm understanding the tanong right)

Actually there are several Japanese anime that have had foreign backers to either continue the series or make pelikula of.
Trigun, Tiger & Bunny and Panty medyas with Garterbelt as well as the Redline movie were specifically targeted with the western audience in mind.
Which is the only reason Trigun & Tiger & Bunny and the re-vamp of Hellsing (Ultimate) got made.

Arfo Samurai
