In Detective Conan

- At numerous occasions, when the characters witness the organization or some unrelated cases, 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.
