Background
The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond. They also think that the annoying action of the city crows by always invading other people's privacy is the true manifestation of evil, since they have the habit of scavenging through garbage for food or to make their nests, as well as attack people, which is shown numerous times in the franchise.

In Magic Kaito
- Akako often has ominous black crows around her for some witching spells.
Trivia
- Matsumoto Castle, the famous Japanese black place, is known as "Crow Castle" and a crow stands for it.[1]
- The Tengu, a long-nosed demon that often appears in Japanese literature, is also called "Crow-billed Tengu" and is similar to a crow. In Yoshitsune's cryptic puzzles, since legend has it taught Ushiwakamaru the art of war, they are used to represent Karasuma Avenue in Kyoto.[2]
- 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.[3]
