Kaitou Kid (怪盗キッド Kaitou Kiddo?, lit. Phantom Thief Kid) is the main character in the manga franchise Magic Kaito, and a recurring character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Kaitou Kid is really the alter ego of Ekoda High School student Kaito Kuroba. He is the greatest jewel thief in Japan and is known for never being caught. Kaito's father was the original Kaitou Kid until his death at the hands of an unknown man named Snake. Ten years later, Kaito discovers his father's secret lair and dons the clothes of the phantom thief. As Kaito masquerades as Kaitou Kid, he meets his father's old friend, Jii, who reveals to him the secret of his father's mission and the truth behind his father's death. Now Kaito has taken up his father's quest, to find the legendary jewel Pandora, and also to find the man who killed him.

Toichi Kuroba

Toichi Kuroba (黒羽 盗一 Kuroba Touichi?) was the original Kaitou Kid.

Kaito Kuroba

Kaito Kuroba (黒羽 快斗 Kuroba Kaito?) is the current Kaitou Kid.

Personality

Kid is infamous for having a rather arrogant attitude, always preferring to create as big a bang as possible. He loves nothing more then leading the police in wild goose chases, letting them get within a hair of catching him before exiting one way or another. Seemingly having a soft-spot for his fans, there has been more then one occasion when Kid has refused to show when the police tried to bar the general public from witnessing his act. 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 never hesitates in leaping to rescue someone, whether physically or mentally.

Although he hasn't demonstrated it while dressed as Kaitou Kid, Kaito Kuroba has an extreme fear of fish (ichthyophobia) to the point where he freaks out seeing Aoko wearing fish-print underwear one day.
