The Yatagarasu (八咫烏, yatagarasu, lit. Eight-span Crow) is a divine three-legged crow. In East Asian mythologies the three-legged crow is most often associated with the sun. In Japanese mythology, this flying creature is a Raven or a Crow called Yatagarasu and the appearance of the great bird is construed as evidence of the will of Heaven or divine intervention in human affairs.

The Yatagarasu was a deity within Former Hell which Kanako Yasaka persuaded Utsuho Reiuji into eating it to gain the power of Nuclear Fusion (the power of the sun).
