About Magic Kaito

Looking for background on Magic Kaito (まじっく快斗)? This adventure series by TMS Entertainment (2010) starts out like this. What the story covers: Kaito Kuroba, a normal teenage pupil whose father is often absent for vaguely defined reasons. When his father dies under unexplained circumstances, he is made aware of his father's hidden identity; a famous international criminal known as International Criminal 1412: the Phantom Thief.

From there, 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. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
