Germany has this, too, which, given the propensity for German myth in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with that.
It's Knecht Ruprecht, Ruprecht the Servant, who comes with St. Nikolaus (on the 6th of December, not for Christmas), often depicted in black or brown clothes and carrying a rod. anta gives candy to the good kids, Ruprecht gives the rod to the bad ones.

I think you are right. I saw the mention of Germany in the article from which I screenshot the Black Santa image from. Thanks for the additional information!

On the left is the Bull (Taurus) and on thev right is the wiser man wearing a fish mitre. In his hand is the sun.
Astrotheology
50,000 years ago was the age of Taurus.
25,000 years ago began the age of Pisces
Soon the Age of Aquarius.
Egyptian Ankh is a cross with circle, Sun on top. Many Christian churches use a similar symbol.
Ra, Horis: Sun gods. December 25th the Sun under the Northern Cross rises after 3 days in its lowest visual point of the Northern Hemisphere.

Synchronicity.

but what does it mean? I don't mean synchronicity, I mean the line of ages of taurus/Pisces to Aquarius, the circle cross, etc.?

If you look at literature or stories over time. Even the Bible. Moses went up to get the ten commandments and he returned and his people were worshipping a bull. This was the end of the age of Taurus. The next "Great Year" was the age of Pisces and this is where we see the fish used in symbols.
I skipped one transitions bull to ram to fish...
So there is your choice of goat!
Here is a bit about the great year.
