Kaito Kuroba, a normal teenage student whose father is often absent. When his father dies under mysterious circumstances, he is made aware of his father's secret identity; a famous international criminal known as International Criminal 1412: the Phantom Thief, and that he was murdered by a mysterious organization for refusing to aid them in retrieving the "Pandora Gem"; a mystical stone said to shed a "tear" during the passing of a particular comet (often called the 'Volley Comet'), the consumption of which bestows immortality.
He vows to prevent the organization from gaining immortality, and assumes his father's identity as he begins 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. He thus researches and steals famous priceless gems with odd histories from incredibly well-defended areas, and always returns them after the very next full moon.

Where it came from
Magic Kaito 1412 was produced by A-1 Pictures in 2014 as a fresh television adaptation of Gosho Aoyama's long-running manga series. It centers on Kaito Kuroba, a teenage magician who adopts the persona of the elusive thief Kid to uncover the truth behind his father's death. This version aimed to reintroduce the character to a modern audience, distinct from his recurring appearances in the Detective Conan franchise, by focusing specifically on Kaito's high-stakes heists and his lighthearted rivalries.
The series design aesthetic leaned into the classic 'gentleman thief' trope, blending stylized 2010s animation with the whimsical, retro-inspired charm of Aoyama’s original 1980s character designs. Directed by Susumu Kudo, the production sought to balance high-energy comedic timing with the suspenseful mystery elements of the source material. It was generally well-received by fans of the franchise for its polished animation and for finally providing a dedicated, sequential narrative for the Magic Kaito storyline.
