Trivia

Origin

Honchkrow is based off of a crow with aspects of a leader of a criminal organization. The white beard and wide-brimmed hat may also be in reference to the Norse god Odin.

Name origin

Its name is a combination of "honcho", a leader or boss, and "crow". Don is Spanish for lord and is a title for Mafia leaders, while karasu is Japanese for crow. So Donkarasu literally means "Lord of crows". Its German name, Kramshef, comes from Krähe. Its French name, Corboss, comes from corbeau and boss.
