Crow (カラス karasu , also written as 鴉 or 烏) is a specie of birds of the genus Corvus, also pronounced karasu in Japanese. They are a main feature in Detective Conan, as they represent darkness and the Black Organization, or Magic Kaito.
The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond. The action of the city crows is the true manifestation of evil.

In Detective Conan
- 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 characters witness the organization, crows fly above them or are near them.
- Two anime original cases focus mainly on them: The Disappearing Weapon Search Case and The City Crows.
- Corvin Castle, a Romanian castle from Transylvania, derivates from the word Corvus and has been shown in a painting two times in the series: in the culprit's apartment from The Fourteenth Target and in the Sunset Manor's piano room from The Gathering of the Detectives.
