Kaito Kuroba

Kaito Kuroba, also known as Kid Kaitou, Phantom Thief, Bakaito, Moonlight Magician, 1412 and Lupin of the Modern Era, is the main protagonist from the Magic Kaito series.
== Charactah Account ==
Eight years after his father's death, he discovers his father's identity as the original Kaitou Kid and later takes on the role himself in order to search for the gem called Pandora and stop the people who murdered his father from obtaining it.
While not under the guise of Kaitou Kid, Kaito seems to be rather popular in school and likes to pull harmless pranks on people. He also loves to demonstrate his magic skills and seems to hate seeing other people upset. While good at many things, he is absolutely hopeless at ice skating, and has an unexplained extreme fear of fish.
Kaito as his normal self seems to be rather popular in school although he tends to get in trouble with the ladies, particularly Aoko, for flipping up their skirts or peeking on them in the locker room. He is a compulsive trickster who loves to demonstrate his magic tricks and share them with others, and hates to see people upset.

== Trivia ==
* A prototype version of Kaito appears in Aoyama's "Nonchalant Lupin (Sarigenaku Rupan)" short story. In this version, Kaito is named Kaito Lupin (Rupan Kaito).
* The name 'Kuroba' is a transliteration of 'clover.' A four-leaf clover also appears on the tag of Kid's monocle. Additionally, in the manga's second chapter Kaito disguises himself as an old man named Count Clover.
* Gosho Aoyama gave Kaito the same height and weight measurements that he had in 1990, as well as his own blood type.
* Kaito and Gosho Aoyama also have the same birthday, June 21.
* Gosho Aoyama stated in the comments of the Magic Kaito chapters in the Treasured Edition releases of the manga, that he considers Kaito's ice cream line from Magic Kaito Chapter 4 to be the most embarrassing line of dialogue he has ever written.
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo. Kaito and Shinichi already resemble each other so closely that in the Black Star case, Ran sees Kaito in the street and mistakes him for Shinichi. In Movie 8 and again in Movie 19, Kaito disguises himself as Shinichi and without the use of a mask succeeds in completely fooling everyone except for Ran.
* In Spanish, he doesn't share his voice with Shinichi, but with Hattori. However, this isn't much of a problem since he can perfectly mimic voices.
* Although Kaito's and Shinichi's teenaged-selves share the same voice actor, Kappei Yamaguchi, two different voice actors portray them as children: young Kaito is still voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, while Conan and young Shinichi are voiced by Minami Takayama.
* His favorite class is physical education. For example, he practices kendo and. In sword fights, he even manages to stand up to Yaiba Kurogane.
