Magic Kaito follows Kaito Kuroba, a high school student who wants nothing more than an ordinary life until he uncovers the secret behind the Phantom Thief Kaito Kid, the legendary "Magician Under the Moonlight." The thief Kaito Kid was not a stranger at all, but Kaito's own father, and that revelation draws him into a conflict that began when a criminal organization killed his father while searching for the Pandora Gem.
According to the legend tied to Pandora, the gem sheds a tear when the Valley Comet passes once every ten thousand years, and anyone who consumes that tear is said to gain immortality. Determined to solve the mystery behind his father's death and keep Pandora out of the wrong hands, Kaito inherits Kid's disguise and becomes the phantom thief himself. Night after night, he steals priceless jewels while searching for clues, all while hiding his double life from the people around him. Magic Kaito balances crime, family legacy, and a dangerous race against the organization still pursuing Pandora's power.
