A dreadful crow.

Crow (カラス karasu?, also written as 鴉 or 烏) is a specie of ravenous birds of the genus Corvus. They are a main feature in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan, as they represent darkness and the Black Organization, and Magic Kaito.

Background

The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond. They also think the action of the city crows is the true manifestation of evil, because they are annoyed that dreadful crows are always invading their privacy by searching their food, or wire and hangers to make their nests, through other people's garbage. Furthermore, crows attack people.

In Detective Conan

Renya Karasuma, crest and pet.
  • Renya Karasuma, the head of the Black Organization, has the kanji for crow in his surname and is shaped like a crow, also having one as a pet. He also uses Nanatsu no Ko, a song about crows, to encode his phone number.
  • At numerous occasions, when the main characters witness the organization or some unrelated cases, evil looking crows fly above or are near them. Two anime original cases focus mainly on city crows: The Disappearing Weapon Search Case and The City Crows.

In Magic Kaito

  • Akako often has ominous black crows around her for some witching spells.

Trivia

  • Tengu, a long-nosed demon that often appears in Japanese literature, is also called "Crow-billed Tengu" and is similar to a crow. They both represent Karasuma Avenue in Kyoto.[1]
  • According to Akako, in Japan, crows have always been a sign of good luck. The three-legged crow even adorns the jerseys of their national football team. In Norse mythology, Odin, the god of war and death, is accompanied by two crows and the Greek god of the sun, Apollo, has a crow working for him.[2]
