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.
The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond. The action of the city crows is the true manifestation of evil.
