Synopsis
High schooler Kaito becomes Phantom Thief Kaito Kid to find his missing father and stop a criminal organization.
Kaito Kuroba is a slightly mischievous but otherwise ordinary high school student whose life takes an unexpected turn when he stumbles upon a hidden secret from his family's past. Learning that his father was connected to the legendary Phantom Thief known as Kaito Kid—"The Magician Under the Moonlight"—Kaito finds himself drawn into a world of mystery and intrigue. As he delves deeper into this hidden legacy, Kaito discovers that his father's disappearance is tied to a powerful criminal organization and their search for a legendary gem with extraordinary properties. Determined to uncover the truth behind his father's fate and prevent the organization from achieving their mysterious goals, Kaito takes on the mantle of the Phantom Thief. Now, under the moonlight, Kaito uses his inherited skills in magic and illusion to outwit both the authorities and those who would misuse the gem's power, all while searching for answers in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
