A crow in movies' introduction.

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.

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: 135 and 363.
• Tengu, a long-nosed demon that often appears in Japanese literature, is also "Crow billed Tengu" and in the picture's puzzle invented by Yoshitsune, the late head of the robbers group Genjibotaru, just like this creepy bird at the cabinet in their hideout, Gyokuryu Temple deep in Mount Kurama, it represents the beginning and ending of Karasuma Avenue in Kyoto from movie 7.

In Magic Kaito

• Akako Koizumi often has crows for her witch's spells.
