About

He has a bright, cheerful, and somewhat childish personality, hating to lose. He possesses the temperament of a flamboyant entertainer, often performing magic tricks openly at school. He is popular and has great social relationships, to the point of receiving armfuls of chocolates on Valentine's Day. He is called by his first name, 'Kaito' or 'Kaito-kun,' by both male and female classmates, and even Inspector Nakamori addresses him as 'Kaito-kun.' Only Saguru Hakuba and Akako Koizumi, who transferred in, call him by his surname 'Kuroba.' While he is usually spontaneous and emotional as Kaito, his behavior during deductions or as Kid shows he can maintain a logical and calm mindset at his core. Although he returns the items he steals, his work as Kaito Kid is still criminal; he is frequently shown enjoying it and rarely expresses guilt about his crimes or deceiving those around him. Such feelings are only briefly touched upon in the 'Blue Birthday' arc or the character song 'Starry Sky Illusion.' He is academically brilliant. In the first episode, he instantly solved a complex equation the teacher asked while he was arguing with Aoko, and his deductive skills are on par with Shinichi's. Most notably, he has an IQ of 400. As the Kid that many young women adore, he is depicted as very handsome; official novels describe him as good-looking as long as he keeps his mouth shut. Given that he frequently cross-dresses without being caught, he appears to be a fairly pretty-faced boy. In fact, even when he accidentally encountered girls in a hot spring and only tied his hair in pigtails, they simply thought his voice was husky and commented on how cute he looked, suggesting he has a rather slender build. The fact that women mistake him for a woman when he cross-dresses implies he has very fine, delicate features.
