Yatagarasu

Yatagarasu is a demon in the series.
==History==
Yatagarasu is a great divine bird that represents the will of heaven or divine intervention in human affairs in in Japanese mythology. Although Yatagarasu is mentioned in a number of places in the Shinto canon, there is very little explanation, and much of the material is contradictory.
This great crow was sent from heaven as a guide for Emperor Jimmu on his initial journey from the region which would become Kumano to what would become Yamato. It is generally accepted that Yatagarasu is an incarnation of Taketsunimi, but none of the early surviving documentary records are quite so specific.
None of the sources mention about it having three legs either, and it may have been influenced by the Chinese sun bird Huoniao.

Yatagarasu can teach Nanashi the Maragion, Grand Tack and Maragidyne skills through its Demon Whisper. It benefits from learning Gun and Fire skills.
===Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers===
===Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha series===
The Yatagarasu represents the divine will and its orders are communicated by its representative, the Herald of Yatagarasu. Yatagarasu itself is never seen, although the three pines seen in the Kuzunoha Training Hall may symbolize it.
At the end of Soulless Army, it can be assumed that the black bird observing Raidou at the end is, in fact, Yatagarasu.
===Soul Hackers 2===
Yatagarasu can be found as a common enemy in Subway Line 14.
===Persona 4===
This Persona of the Sun Arcana can be acquired by Shuffle Time in either the Void Quest or Secret Laboratory dungeons. It can also be created by fusion.
To achieve the 7th rank of the Empress Arcana Social Link, the protagonist must present Margaret with a Yatagarasu that possesses the skill Megido. There are two methods of achieving this fusion; one requiring two fusions, the second requiring only one.
The first can have Tao Tie be fused with Cu Sith, which will create an Ares with Megido. Then fusing the Ares with a Black Frost will create the required Yatagarasu. The second method involves fusing a level 39 Samael with a Mothman for the same effect.
===Persona 5===
Yatagarasu is the sixth Persona of the Sun Arcana and can only be obtained through fusion in the Velvet Room. It is one of four Personas to learn the Makara Break skill and the first Persona to learn Mediarahan. It is one of three Personas to learn the Last Stand and Wind Break skills. Yatagarasu is the sole source of the Null Wind skill. When itemized through Electric Chair execution, Yatagarasu produces the Black Wing Robe unisex armor, which has 220 DEF, 20 EVA and adds the Reduce Nuke damage (med) effect to the wearer. Yatagarasu is one of the Personas required for the advanced fusion recipe to summon Yoshitsune.
===Royal===
Yatagarasu is now the fifth Persona of the Councillor Arcana. When itemized during a fusion alarm, Yatagarasu will yield the Black Wing Robe R armor instead, which has 270 DEF, 20 EVA and adds the Reduce Nuke dmg (high) effect to the wearer.
===Persona 5 Strikers===
Yatagarasu is the strongest Persona of the Sun Arcana. It is found as both a common and mini-boss Shadow in the Tree of Knowledge Jail. 
A particularly powerful Yatagarasu can be found in the Kyoto Jail.
===DemiKids Light & Dark===
Known as War Crow, he can perform the combo Crosswinds with Mega Cat. War Crow also has the power WindProof.
