Kaito Kuroba, a normal teenage student comes upon the secret about his father's death. He realizes his father was the famous Phantom Thief 1412, and was killed by an organization for refusing to steal the Pandora Gem for them. The Pandora Gem is said to shed a tear under the full moonlight, and whomever shall drink it, shall gain immortality. Kaito Kuroba then decides to search for that Jewel to prevent the organization from retrieving it. To do so, he takes on his father's role as Phantom Thief 1412, and becomes Phantom Thief Kid, also known as Kaito Kid (怪盗キッド Kaitō Kiddo) and begins his search on the Pandora Gem. The Pandora Gem is said to ooze liquid "tears" during the passing of a particular comet, and when consumed, would grant immortality. Apparently, the gem glows red under the full moon and that it is a doublet: a gem hidden within a larger gem. Thus, it would have to be a relatively large one with a bizarre history, and always stored in a place that never receives moonlight. This is why he researches and steals famous priceless gems with odd histories from incredibly well-defended areas, and always returns them after the very next full moon. The protagonist, Kaito Kuroba (黒羽 快斗 Kuroba Kaito) is a smart, quirky and almost arrogant 15-to-17-year-old boy illusionist. He's childhood friends with Aoko Nakamouri, is good at all sports except for ice skating, and is absolutely deathly afraid of fish. Kaito is also the Kaitou Kid (怪盗キッド Kaitō Kiddo), the phantom thief. He gives the police riddles describing when, where, and what he is going to steal in a heist, and often ends up returning the item that he stole because it wasn't the Pandora gem. Kaito constantly teases Aoko, but he actually is in love with her. Jimmy Kudo from Aoyama's Detective Conan physically resembles Kaito. Like Aoko and Ran, the major difference in their appearances are their hairstyles. His seiyū is Kappei Yamaguchi and his English voice actor is Jerry Jewell. Aoko Nakamori (中森 青子 Nakamori Aoko) is Kaito's childhood friend. She is an obstinate, impulsive and lighthearted girl. A kind girl who worries about others but she is horrible at skiing. Although she is 17 her cherubic figure means that she resembles a boy physically. Kaito often teases her and flips her skirt, driving her to chase him wielding her weapon of choice, a mop, even though she is secretly in love with him. She is the daughter of Inspector Nakamori, so she hates Kaito Kid. Ran Mouri from Aoyama's Detective Conan physically resembles Aoko. Like Kaito and Shinichi, the major difference in their appearances are their hairstyles. Her seiyū is Yukiko Iwai and her English voice actress isMinami Takayama. Saguru Hakuba (白馬 探 Hakuba Saguru) is a teenage detective from the United Kingdom. He is blond, observative and very intelligent. He is the person who comes closest to catching KID, with the exception of Shinichi Kudo. He is almost certain that his classmate, Kaito, is the phantom thief. He even has DNA from Kaito's hair connecting him to KID, however he doesn't have enough evidence proving that theory. Hakuba is also Kaito's love rival for Aoko. He has made appearances in the series Detective Conan. His seiyū is Akira Ishida. Akako Koizumi (小泉 紅子 Koizumi Akako) is actually a witch with real magic, which causes her to be very critical of Kaito's "sleight-of-hand" magic. She knows that he is Kid, but has not told anyone. Akako is very much a seductress, and is "trying to make every man her slave". She is at first angry at Kaito because she cannot "control" him, but later on she grows to like him. She seems to be able to summon Lucifer at will. She appeared in episode 219 and the first OVA of Detective Conanand has a atitude like haibara Ai.[citation needed] Her seiyū is Megumi Hayashibara. Mace Fuller, known as Ginzo Nakamori (中森 銀三 Nakamori Ginzō) in Japan, is Aoko's father. He is the inspector who is head of the Kaito Kid Task force. He is known for his colorful, loud curses. He mistakenly believes that the current Kaitou Kid is the one that he started chasing after more than 20 years ago. Although he has never actually caught Kid he does sometimes makes things difficult for him. Usually his attempts to catch Kid ends up in vain but that never stops him from trying. Kogoro Mouri from Aoyama's Detective Conan physically resembles Nakamori. His seiyū is Unshou Ishizuka and his English voice actor is Jay Jones. Toichi Kuroba (黒羽 盗一 Kuroba Tōichi) was the original Phantom Thief 1412, and is Kaito Kuroba's father. He was a famous magician who taught Kaito how to be a masterful magician. When he was Phantom Thief 1412 he and Booker Kudo used to be rivals. He physically resembles Booker Kudo in Detective Conan (Case Closed). As a magician, he taught two people in the art of disguise, Yukiko Kudo andSharon Vineyard for their careers as an actress. During his life as Phantom Thief 1412, he melt an organization who ordered him to find the Pandora Gem. This gem was born inside another gem, and cried tears of immortality when the comet comes close to the Earth. After finding out what he is up against, Toichi turned down the offer, and started finding the Pandora himself. Feeling betrayed, Snake killed Toichi during one of his magic tricks. His seiyū is Shuuichi Ikeda. Konosuke Jii (寺井 黄之助 Jii Kōnosuke) is Kaito's butler. He starts helping Kaito, who he calls "Young Master". For an old man he is very strong and skilled. He seldom appears in the series. It appears that he has a pool bar named Blue Parrot (ブルーパロット Burū Parotto). Shintaro Chaki (茶木 伸太郎 Chaki Shintarō) is an inspector of the Kaito Kid Task force. Keiko Momoi (桃井 恵子 Momoi Keiko) is Aoko's best friend. Keiko is a brunette who wears glasses. She envies Aoko because she has a childhood friend and Hakuba likes her too. She's good at ice-skating, but does not know how to ski. His seiyū is Yukiko Iwai.
