There's an ancient Japanese legend that states if someone folds a senbazuru — an arrangement of a thousand origami cranes tied together — a crane will come to them and grant them a single wish, such as long life or recovery from serious illness or injury. They are also a popular wedding gift (symbolizing a wish for a long and happy marriage), due to the immense time involved. In modern times it has grown to be been used as a symbol for world peace, spawning from the story of Sadako Sasaki, a girl who died of leukemia from the Hiroshima bombing in World War II. More information from The Other Wiki. There is something similar called Senninbari. Senninbari was a strip of white cloth, approximately one meter in length, decorated with 1000 stitches in red thread from 1000 women, used as an amulet given to soldiers on their way to war as a part of the Shinto culture of Imperial Japan. The belts were believed to confer courage, good luck and immunity from injury (especially bullets) upon their wearers. See this entry in The Other Wiki for more, though really the fact that today the Kaiju Defense Force uses kevlar ballistic armor like everybody else (not to mention the fact that it's a defense force and not an actual army anymore) should tell you just about everything you really need to know. This is not to be confused with the Yasunari Kawabata novel "Thousand Cranes", the title of which refers to a certain handkerchief pattern. |

In Mega Man Battle Network 3, a plot-important NPC dispenses the hint "One of many birds" to advance the plot. Rather than visit Yoka Zoo, the answer is a paper crane from a senbazuru hanging on the wall of one of the hospital rooms. The solution was essentially Lost in Translation as players outside Japan would have no idea what this paper sculpture even is or why it would be in a hospital. | |

At the end of Solatorobo, the kids at Red's old orphanage decide to try folding a thousand paper cranes, and Red agrees to get some help. He then revisits every major location in the game and convinces everyone, including the new leader of the Kurvaz, to make as many cranes as they can and send them to the orphanage. | |

Used in a season 4 episode of Eureka in the same manner as the JSA astronaut example given in the Real Life section. Several Astraeis candidates are sealed in a small room together and tasked with each folding 1000 cranes in order to test their ability to do complex repetitive tasks. They're also given an extra person posing as a stowaway that they need to prove they can deal with sharing limited space and resources with. | |

In Persona 4, the Player Character can spend time in his room folding cranes, which increases his Understanding statistic. Unlike other jobs this can be done during spare time, doesn't bring money, but once the set's complete it gives an item. How long it takes to do so depends on which choices are made and whether they work out well - generally, one choice gives you the standard progress, while another can either make the PC work faster or slow down. | |

In Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice, the apply named Asuka Cranekick is known to enjoy folding paper cranes. She even once promised to Almaz, who is covering the fact that he is slowly dying by pretending to be sick that she will fold thousand paper cranes to them so that they can rest in peace. She even suffered from demon leukemia, and would have suffered from it even to this date if Raspberyl hadn't donated bone-marrow for her. | |

A touching variation in Azumanga Daioh: The girls are taking their college entrance exams, and Osaka, being Osaka, suggests they try to perfectly break apart a pair of chopsticks for good luck. Chiyo—who doesn't have to worry about exams herself because she's going to the US—later buys several hundred chopsticks and splits them one by one while the others take their exams in order to wish them luck. | |

Played for laughs in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War spin-off series We Want to Talk About Kaguya, where Erika folds 1000 cranes for Kaguya's health when she's out sick for two days with a fever. Of course, Kaguya had already gotten better by the time she finished and Karen wouldn't allow her to give them to her personally on the grounds that it would be creepy, so they just hang them in their club room instead. | |

He builds a wall of origami figures in his apartment, supposedly hoping for the legend to come true to get him his daughter back. It seems to come true, at least partially, as the ending suggests that custody for Lucy is shared between him and the foster family. | |

In Code Geass, Nunnally gets taught Origami by Sayoko and tells Lelouch about the Thousand Origami Cranes. In the Grand Finale, C.C. carries an origami crane with her as she starts Walking the Earth after Zero Requiem. This actually created the Epileptic Tree that the emblem of the Black Knights, Lelouch's La Résistance, is meant to be a paper crane viewed from the front — representing his promise to make the world a better place for Nunnally. | |

In Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name, a paper crane appears before "[...]" as a sort of spiritual guide. According to Hanna, the guide takes on the form of something with emotional significance for each individual, but since [...] doesn't remember anything about his life before he died, whatever meaning it had for him is more or less gone. Hanna decides that's too depressing, so he starts folding 1,000 cranes to grant a wish, "so it can mean something again." | |

In an episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Second Gig, Major Kusanagi hears a curious story. The boy later known as Hideo Kuze was injured in a plane crash and mostly paralyzed except for his left hand, which he would use to endlessly fold paper cranes in hopes that the girl next to him would recover from her injuries, but she took a turn for the worse and was taken away. He was later visited by a girl with a cyber-body who suggested that he should have his own body replaced. He said he'd do it if she could prove to him that such a body could fold paper cranes just as well as he could now. No matter how she tried she just couldn't. In spite of this, he did later get a mechanical body. The Major seems to find the story familiar, and at the end we see that she has folded a paper crane with one hand... | |
