The red-crowned crane, also called the Manchurian crane or Japanese crane, is a large East Asian crane among the rarest cranes in the world. It is well known as a symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity. Almost being extinct in Japan, now more than 600 red-crowned cranes live in Kushiro Hokkaido area.
