Kaitou Kid is the main character in the manga franchise Magic Kaito, and a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Kaitou Kid is really the alter ego of High School student Kaito Kuroba. He is the greatest Jewel Theif 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 Theif. As he 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.

Personality

Kid is infamous for having a rather arrogant attitude, always prefering 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 occassion when Kid has refused to show when the police tried to bar the general public from witnessing his act. Kaito Kid is also quite a charmer, seeming to always know just what to say to the ladies to leave them speechless. Despite the fact the other is seen as a villian, Kid obviously hates to see other's get hurt, and never hesitates in leaping to rescue someone, wether physically or mentally.
