'''{{nihongo|Toichi Kuroba|黒羽 盗一|Kuroba Touichi}}''' is [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s father, a world-renowned magician, and the original [[Kaitou Kid]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
Toichi as Kid was the greatest jewel thief in Japan as well as the best stage magician in Japan until he was murdered in a fake magic accident. Sometime prior to his death Toichi had his attendant and friend [[Konosuke Jii]] promise him that he would never tell Kaito about his thieving.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-05-15 |isbn=4-09-122081-9 |chapter=The Revived Phantom Thief |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=35 }}</ref> In the manga it seems that Kaito's mother was aware of her husband's double life and is aware that Kaito discovered Toichi's secret room within their household.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=1 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1988-05-15 |isbn=4-09-122081-9 |chapter=The Revived Phantom Thief |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=20 }}</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Toichi seems to have a playful atmosphere about himself, not unlike his son [[Kaito Kuroba]], as demonstrated by his amusing magic tricks to delight his audience.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
<br />
* '''Toichi Kuroba and Yusaku Kudo'''<br />
<br />
Toichi seems to have had a friendly rivalry with [[Yusaku Kudo]], as Yusaku successfully stopped one of Toichi's jewelery heists and then ''gave'' Toichi the "Kaitou Kid" name when he purposely misread a "1412" a news reporter had scribbled down. Toichi daringly sent a letter as the Kaitou Kid to Yusaku once with only a question mark on it, questioning whether Yusaku would be able to stop him again. (Yusaku replies that yes, he will.)<br />
<br />
Possibility; Conan & the Kaito Kid are related?<br />
<br />
Even laying aside the art style, Shinichi Kudo & Kuroba Kaito (and their respective parents, who are basically them with moustaches) are basically identical - even to the point of Shinichi's not-girlfriend Ran mistaking Kaito for Shinichi in the street. In addition, whenever the two butt heads with one another, much is made about how closely matched they are. The theory normally runs along the lines of the magician Toichi Kuroba (secretly the first Kaito Kid) introducing Yukiko Kudo (as she is known by the time of the series) to his brother (and occasional sparring partner) ''''''Yuusaku Kuroba, who legally takes up his pen-name of 'Kudo''''''' after his brother's hounding (and eventual death) at the hands of a mysterious mafia-like organisation.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
* '''Toichi Kuroba and Yukiko Kudo'''<br />
<br />
It is subtly implied that Toichi is the very man who taught Yusaku's wife [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] and [[Sharon Vineyard]] the finer art of disguise. This theory is given credibility by the intricateness of Kaitou Kid's disguises, the secrets of which he has inherited from his father. However, Yukiko remains ignorant about Toichi's true identity and his actual relationship with her husband..<ref>Manga Chapter 573: Setting Sun</ref><br />
<br />
* '''Toichi Kuroba and Shinichi Kudo'''<br />
<br />
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because of Yusaku, Shinichi's father, being the '''father''' of the name of Kaitou '''Kid''', Toichi's secret identity.<br />
