Jii worked as the famous magician Toichi Kuroba's assistant. He also knew of Toichi's alter ego as the Kaitou Kid, and presumably assisted him in his heists. According to Jii, Toichi made him swear never to tell his son [[Kaito Kuroba | Kaito]] about his father's secret identity. Because Kaito did not immediately recognize Jii, it seems that he may not have been close to the entire Kuroba family, or perhaps Toichi wanted to protect Kaito from his Kaitou Kid identity, and thus kept him away from Jii. | Jii worked as the famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]]'s assistant.

Name origin
Like other characters in Magic Kaito, his name contains a color. The kanji "黄" in Kōnosuke means "yellow". "Jii" also shares the same sound as "gramps" in Japanese.
Trivia
- In the "Teleportation Magic" case Conan catches a glimpse of the Kid's assistant. In the manga, this is fairly clearly Jii himself, judging from his hairstyle and body shape. In the anime depiction, however, Kid's assistant is depicted as a figure identical to Kaito himself, albeit with a shadowed face.
