kaito kid @ kaito kuroba

Kaito Kuroba (黒羽 快斗 Kuroba Kaito^?), the true identity under his alias Phantom Thief Kid(怪盗キッド Kaitō Kiddo^?) is a fictional character created by Gosho Aoyama. His father Toichi Kuroba (黒羽 盗一 Kuroba Tōichi^?) was the original Phantom Thief Kid and was killed when he refused to steal the Pandora Jewel for an unknown organization. Kaito Kuroba then takes on the role of Phantom Thief Kid after learning the truth about his father in order to search for the Pandora Jewel and prevent it from reaching the hands of the organization. Kaito Kuroba is theprotagonist of the Magic Kaito manga series and has made significant appearances in Case Closed, often as an opponent to Jimmy Kudo who tries to solve Kaito's trickery and stop him from succeeding in his theft. He has an uncanny resemblance to Jimmy, so much so that Jimmy's childhood friend Rachael mistook Kaito for him, the only noticeable difference between their physical appearance being their haircuts. To compound this similarity, both Kaito and Jimmy are voiced by the same actor in both Japanese and English.
