About Magic Kaito

Magic Kaito (まじっく快斗) blends adventure by TMS Entertainment (2010). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Kaito Kuroba, a normal teenage student whose father is often absent for vaguely defined reasons. When his father dies under enigmatic circumstances, he is made aware of his father's hidden identity; a famous international criminal known as International Criminal 1412: the Phantom Thief.

As things develop, he vows to prevent the organization from gaining immortality, and assumes his father's identity as he starts his quest for the gem. His only clues as to the gem's location are that it 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.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. It will appeal most to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
