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 karasu is Japanese for crow, so Donkarasu literally means "Lord of crows."
