**Kaitou Kid (怪盗キッド ,*Kaitō Kiddo*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"), lit. Phantom Thief Kid)** is the secret identity of the main character in the manga and anime franchise *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")*, and a recurring character in the manga and anime franchise *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")*. A so-called "gentleman thief" known for issuing advance notices prior to his heists and never having fired a gun while operating, he first appeared eighteen years ago in Paris, coinciding with the retirement of another renowned thief, the [Phantom Lady](/wiki/Phantom_Lady "Phantom Lady"). Wearing a white dress suit flunked with white gloves, a top hat, and a monocle, he makes flashy entrances using his [Hang Glider Cape](/wiki/Hang_Glider_Cape "Hang Glider Cape"). The identity was first assumed by world-class magician [Toichi Kuroba](/wiki/Toichi_Kuroba "Toichi Kuroba"), who quickly made the phantom thief famous for the unbelievable jewel heists he could pull off. Ten years prior to the timeline, Kaitou Kid stopped being active after Toichi was seemingly killed during a stage show by a [mysterious criminal organization](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Organization "Magic Kaito Organization"), who saw him as being in the way of their quest to find [Pandora](/wiki/Pandora "Pandora"), a gem said to grant immortality. After Toichi's assistant [Konosuke Jii](/wiki/Konosuke_Jii "Konosuke Jii") briefly assumed the role, Kaitou Kid is currently embodied by high-school student [Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba"), the son of Toichi. Determined to find the truth behind his father's death, Kaito has brought the name of Kaitou Kid to new levels of fame across the world. Kaitou Kid's current arch-nemeses are the private sleuths [Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") and [Saguru Hakuba](/wiki/Saguru_Hakuba "Saguru Hakuba"), along with "almost successful" police inspector [Ginzo Nakamori](/wiki/Ginzo_Nakamori "Ginzo Nakamori").

## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Kaitou Kid first appeared 18 years ago in Paris, a herald to the quiet retirement of the master thief, [Phantom Lady](/wiki/Chikage_Kuroba "Chikage Kuroba").[](#cite_note-MKf29-5)
### Toichi Kuroba[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Toichi Kuroba")]
Main article: [Toichi Kuroba](/wiki/Toichi_Kuroba "Toichi Kuroba")
**Toichi Kuroba (黒羽 盗一 ,*Kuroba Tōichi*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** was secretly the original Kaitou Kid. Toichi as Kid was the greatest jewel thief in Japan as well as a world-renowned stage magician until he was murdered in a fake magic accident. Sometime prior to his death, Toichi had his attendant and friend [Konosuke Jii](/wiki/Konosuke_Jii "Konosuke Jii") promise him that he would never tell Kaito about his thieving.[](#cite_note-MKf1-6) A thief herself, his wife [Chikage Kuroba](/wiki/Chikage_Kuroba "Chikage Kuroba") was well aware of his double life, having witnessed the inception of Kaitou Kid.[](#cite_note-MKf29-5) Toichi ceased to be Kaitou Kid only upon his death in a fake magic accident arranged by [a mysterious rival group](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Organization "Magic Kaito Organization").
### Konosuke Jii[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Konosuke Jii")]
Main article: [Konosuke Jii](/wiki/Konosuke_Jii "Konosuke Jii")
**Konosuke Jii (寺井 黄之助 ,*Jii Kōnosuke*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** temporarily portrayed Kaitou Kid eight years following Toichi's death in an effort to lure out Toichi's murderers. Jii ceases being Kid and becomes Kaito's assistant when Kaito dons the mantle of Kaitou Kid himself. Since then, Jii has occasionally been a decoy Kid on Kaito's behalf, but more commonly he assists on heists in other ways.
### Kaito Kuroba[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Kaito Kuroba")]
Main article: [Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba")
**Kaito Kuroba (黒羽 快斗 ,*Kuroba Kaito*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** is the current Kaitou Kid. Kaito is a second-year student at Ekoda High School Class 2-B alongside his childhood friend [Aoko Nakamori](/wiki/Aoko_Nakamori "Aoko Nakamori"), the witch [Akako Koizumi](/wiki/Akako_Koizumi "Akako Koizumi"), and transfer student detective [Saguru Hakuba](/wiki/Saguru_Hakuba "Saguru Hakuba"). Kaito discovers his father's identity as the original Kaitou Kid after eight years following his death thanks to a secret room inside his house as well as talking with his father's attendant and friend, Konosuke Jii. Wanting to pick up where Jii left off, Kaito continues to be Kaitou Kid in an effort to lure out his father's murderers by making Kid a world-famous thief once again. It isn't until the *Blue Birthday* heist that the murderers appear and reveal that they are searching for the doublet red-colored gem [Pandora](/wiki/Pandora_Gem "Pandora Gem"), said to shed tears of immortality during the passing of a particular comet. Upon realizing the [organization](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Organization "Magic Kaito Organization")'s aim and that his father was killed for his refusal to aid them in retrieving Pandora, Kaito vows as Kaitou Kid to find the Pandora gem first and shatter it into pieces.[](#cite_note-7) Kaito's mother is aware that Kaito discovered Toichi's secret room and has taken up the mantle of Kaitou Kid.[](#cite_note-MKf1-6)
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Personality")]
### Toichi as Kid[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Toichi as Kid")]
Toichi Kuroba as Kaitou Kid
Not much is given about Toichi as Kaitou Kid. However, we do know that at some point in time, a dark organization forced him to steal gems to find [Pandora](/wiki/Pandora_Gem "Pandora Gem"). His refusal led to his death in a "magic accident."
### Jii as Kid[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Jii as Kid")]
After the death of Toichi, Jii lived by himself. Over the course of eight years, he grew angrier and angrier until he donned the costume of Kaitou Kid in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.
### Kaito as Kid[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Kaito as Kid")]
Kid seduces Ran by tricking her into believing he is really Shinichi
In both civilian and costumed life, Kaitou Kid is a compulsive magician who is drawn to any challenge just for the sheer thrill of overcoming all hazards in the end. Kid is infamous for having a rather overconfident (close to the point of arrogance) attitude, always preferring to create as big a bang as possible. He loves nothing more than leading the police in wild goose chases, letting them get within a hair's breadth of catching him, before exiting one way or another. Seemingly having a soft-spot for his fans, there has been more than one occasion when Kid has refused to show when the police tried to bar the general public from witnessing his act. Generally, when these instances occur, one of Kid's tricks rely, one way or another, on his ability to blend in with a crowd.
Kaitou Kid is also quite a charmer, seeming to always know just what to say to the ladies to leave them speechless. Kid hates to see others get hurt, and he never hesitates in leaping to rescue someone, whether physically or mentally. Despite his low reputation in some quarters, Kid does have a sense of honor, in as much as that he decides to leave the loot behind if it has no further purpose other than having challenged his trickster skills, doesn't contain Pandora, or when a more humane background stands behind their existence. These qualities are some of the reasons why he and [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") occasionally end up as allies in a common cause.
For some as yet unexplained reason, Kaito suffers from a severe case of ichthyophobia (fear of fish).

## Appearance[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Appearance")]
[Kaito Kuroba](/wiki/Kaito_Kuroba "Kaito Kuroba") as Kaitou Kid
### Toichi as Kid[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=11 "Edit section: Toichi as Kid")]
The classic Kaitou Kid outfit was originally developed for one of his stage performances to honor Arsène Lupin, but he decided to use it as his thief outfit after saving [Phantom Lady](/wiki/Phantom_Lady "Phantom Lady").
### Jii as Kid[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: Jii as Kid")]
Jii donned the costume of Kaitou Kid, but used a smiling mask, in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.
### Kaito as Kid[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section: Kaito as Kid")]
Kid has dark brown hair (black in Magic Kaito 1412) with fringe that ends just above his eyes, but the rest of his hair is normally covered by a white top hat with a blue ribbon band. When dressed in his normal outfit, his right eye is covered by a white monocle that has a dangling green charm with a white clover imprinted on it. Kid's outfit consists of a white suit jacket on top of a blue shirt with a red tie and white dress slacks. The white [Hang Glider Cape](/wiki/Hang_Glider_Cape "Hang Glider Cape") is attached to the jacket at Kid's shoulders. Kid wears blue socks with white Oxford style shoes with white soles. In his original appearances Kid wore white loafer type shoes.
Kid has been seen wearing black shirts and pants along with a black hat to help cover his face, usually when doing information gathering for heists or when he has his "audience" at his heists looking elsewhere. Apart from these two outfits, Kid is a master of disguise and has been seen disguising as several people throughout the course of *Detective Conan* and *Magic Kaito*.
At several instances, it has been demonstrated that Kid shares a close natural likeness with [Shinichi Kudo](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo").[](#cite_note-35) This, on occasion (particularly in the non-canon appearances), allows him to pass himself off as Shinichi whenever needed, without requiring a special disguise.[](#cite_note-36)[](#cite_note-37)[](#cite_note-38)[](#cite_note-39)
## List of disguises used[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Kaitou_Kid&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: List of disguises used")]
Main article: [Disguise](/wiki/Disguise "Disguise")
Kaitou Kid has used many disguises over the course of the series. These are the known ones used so far.
