The three-legged crow is a creature found in art and mythology throughout East Asia. It has appeared on Neolithic pottery, ancient Anatolian coins and Chinese totems, as well as in many contemporary settings.

The most common depiction of the three-legged crow is as the sun crow, or golden crow. Known by various names, including sanzuwu in China and Yatagarasu in Japan, it is often depicted as red rather than black, and is seen as a symbol of power and, in some cultures, divine intervention.
