kaito is a possessive as hell bastard with little sense of normal boundaries. as soon as he considers someone to be one of “his” (in regards to kaito, literally limited to only aoko and jii-chan in his current point in canon, but saguru and akako are growing on him as kaito. in regards to kid, nakamori-keibu and the task force, suzuki jirokichi, shinichi, and saguru are who he considers to be “his”), kaito learns everything about those people. secret dreams, preferences, mannerisms, you name it, he knows it. 

he does sweet stuff with the information he gathers (usually), like gifting a detective with their favourite brand of tea/coffee when they’re running out or, like with @manaborn‘s gwen, leaving yellow roses inside of her bedroom. it’s that weird mix of “aww, he does care” and a “okay how the fuck did he get into my house”, and, in some instances, he thrives in that branch of uncertainty. 

if you chase him and he likes you, sorry, you’re stuck chasing him. <3 he gets pouty when detectives move onto other people or don’t show up for every heist.

which aesthetic™ colour are you?//kuroba kaito.

                                                 Your Result:                                                     Oxblood.

you are fearless, honest, and you stick to your guns. you pride yourself on your honesty, and on being true to your values even in difficult situations. others admire your grit, and those who can handle it appreciate your bluntness. your friendships are ride-or-die, and your loved ones would destroy the goddamn sun for you. to put it simply: you're lowkey punk. just remember that softness is not the same as weakness, and that it's ok to be a little more forgiving-- toward others, but also toward yourself.

NGL, but Batman would freak Kaito the fuck out ( not that he’d show it ). A man dressed up in a bat costume who goes around beating up criminals ?? ( kaito vc: i get that enough from makoto and ran-chan, thanks, and at least they’re cute enough that seeing them trying to beat me up isn’t that much of a hardship ). That being said, he’d probably would want to race Catwoman to a jewel sometime, but, like with Chat Noir, I’m not sure if he’d admire her. Maybe her skill.

KAITO / KID’S RP PLOTTING CHEAT SHEET. // do not reblog.

Template here.

Who the heck is my muse anyway:

Kaito is a teenaged to college-aged (depending on the verse) student and professional magician who doubles as an international phantom thief named Kaitō Kid or Phantom Thief 1412 (in English-speaking countries). (Instead of fighting evil by moonlight, he performs heists by moonlight.)

His father was the previous Kaitō Kid, and he was murdered by an organisation when Kaito was eight years old. Ignorant of the fact that his father was an international phantom thief, Kaito proclaimed that he would catch the Kaitō Kid when Kaitō Kid (played by his father’s old assistant) had returned and found out that his father had been a phantom thief. Deciding to done the cape to figure out why his father decided to take on the role, he found out on his best friend’s birthday that his father was murdered because he refused to steal jewels for an organisation, and Kaito decided that he would find and steal the jewel before they could and destroy it and also get his father’s killers arrested by using himself as bait for the police to arrest his would-be killers. 

This jewel is named Pandora and is a magical jewel that will apparently cry tears of immortality once a specific comet arrives, and he will know which jewel it is by holding it up to the moonlight for it will glow red. 

Points of interest:

As Kaito, he does not sit still. He is constantly moving, playing pranks, or practising magic tricks out of habit. Upon first meeting, especially to women and little children, he gives them (coloured) roses that he makes appear in his hand. 

As Kid, he’s (usually) dressed in all white and is probably running from the police or assassins OR is looking at a jewel through the moonlight. However, despite being bathed in all white, he’s only noticeable if he wants to be. 

What they’ve been up to recently:

Regardless of whether or not he is in high school or college, his life remains (unfortunately) the same. He is both a student and moonlighting as a phantom thief to try to find Pandora and get his father’s killers arrested.

Where to find them:

As an international jewel thief, Kid can be quite anywhere in the world. You can either find him at a heist or perhaps out in the streets in one of his many disguises. If he’s in a disguise, your character will not know he is Kaitō Kid. 

As Kaito, he mainly sticks within Japan, particularly in the Tōkyō area. Sometimes, you can find him in France or in Las Vegas (France if he’s visiting old family haunts, Las Vegas if he’s visiting his mother). 

Current plans:

He has genuine magic (not just magic tricks) and doesn’t know it. If your muse is magical and can sense other people’s magical abilities, telling Kaito or Kid that he has them would be rather fun since he’s not going to realise it until someone beats him over the head with it. (Or, if you’re a detective, noticing that some of his tricks that he does are actually genuinely impossible without the use of ACTUAL magic).

His father is actually alive and he’s not aware of this! His father was also the Kaitō Corbeau that he “faced” against. 

Very much still developing his college verse. All I know is that he’s still Kid, his organisation is still at large, he goes to Tōdai, and he is working towards an Engineering degree. Which, written out, is a lot, but I don’t know anything else. 

Desired interactions:

He really only has the one friend (best friend/sister figure) that he interacts with in canon, and yet still he is slowly separating himself from her in order to protect her from his enemies. Thus, he needs friends, especially friends who won’t let him emotionally distance himself! 

Also, give him rivals! Give him people that will contest his every move as Kid (as long as you recognise that if your muse tries to capture him, it probably won’t happen). 

Give him mentor figures too! Watching your father burn to death and having your mother essentially abandon you gives him a faint distrust (read: major) of adults. Either in regards to them staying alive or in regards to them sticking around. 

Offered interactions:

Magic tricks! Is your muse having a bad day? Maybe Kaito would notice this and perform a magic trick for your muse to get them to smile! 

Want an injured thief crash-landing in your backyard? Kid can do that! (Note: unless your muse is fast enough or Kid is injured enough, they may breathe in some sleeping gas!) 

A friendly ear? Maybe your muse needs help, and Kaito, Kid, or any of his disguises can be here to be that friendly ear! 

Anything you can think of, I’m down for! If you ever want to plot anything, I’m also here for it.

@delusionland asked: Tell us about Kaito’s unique sense of style...

As Kuroba Kaito, Kaito’s style is rather relaxed -- t-shirts, hoodies, baggy pants, maybe the occasional skinny jean. He’s casual, and yet somehow everything seems perfectly put together. Nothing ever clashes when he wears them, and all of the clothes that he pick out fit him. 

Kaito has an amazing sense of fashion, particularly for what’s trendy at the time, so any disguises’ outfits that he wears are often rather put-together. The only time where this wouldn’t be the case is if he would make them messy/clashing on purpose. It also helps that he has a lot of clothes still leftover from his parents’ disguises, but also that he goes shopping with Aoko every so often, and Aoko doesn’t even bat an eyelash when he buys female clothing.

Kaito & death messages. 

Based on an old fic/drabble I did, Kaito has contingencies set up if he was ever to die as Kaitō Kid. If he ( or Jii-chan, in case Kaito’s ever indisposed but not dead ) doesn’t stop the timer of an e-mail, an e-mail from a burner account and no connection to Kaito or Jii-chan would send to both Shinichi and Saguru. It would detail why he had done what he did ( Tōichi’s death, being Kaitō Kid ), any information he has on the organisation, and, on Saguru’s e-mail in particular, a request to look after Aoko. It would also hold a warning to be careful. 

This is only set up to send before a heist and would send twenty-four hours after the heist’s approximate end. After the heist is over, Kaito takes off the timer and only resets it if he’s about to do another heist.

If he gets killed in his civilian life, then Jii-chan would know to send the e-mails manually. If both of them are dead in their civilian lives, there are clues hidden in his belongings for Aoko to find and figure out. Kaito doesn’t want to die, but he knows it’s a very real possibility, and while he doesn’t want anyone else to die to the organisation, he doesn’t want anyone else to die because of the organisation either.

kaito / kid & names. 

as kaito, he tends to be a lot more casual when referring to other people. he calls saguru by “hakuba”, akako by “koizumi” and aoko by “aoko”. just in general, when it comes to women, expect a “first name-chan”. when it comes to males, he usually just says the last name. (i.e, “ran-chan” and “sonoko-chan” vs. “kudō” and “hattori”.). 

as kid, expect overly polite honorifics. “-san” when speaking to people around his (alleged) age, “-kun” when speaking to people younger than his (alleged) age, “ojō-san” or “ojō-sama” when referring to women.

kid & his mannerisms. // do not reblog. 

in a sense, this meta is just a reminder that my kaito really pushes the “he is the first kid” aspect a lot harder than canon or fanon would allow us to believe. as in, kaito asked chikage and jii-chan everything about all of the heists tōichi did as kid, heard all of the stories and made sure to really incorporate tōichi’s mannerisms as kid into his performance. 

which is why you’ll sometimes have my kid really refer to himself as the first (and only) kaitō kid, mention that he’s 40+ years old, and also know reference to stuff that he shouldn’t know (the “!” and “?”, calling shinichi “older brother” while in costume). this is also why nakamori-keibu is so adamant that kaito is the first kid. as someone who knows kid’s mannerisms the best (but also has that bias playing against him while saguru and shinichi do not), nakamori-keibu can tell that this is the perfect kaitō kid who acts exactly the same as he did and refences the stuff he did before his hiatus, and that’s why he has to be kid.

when i say that kaito’s kid has become a ghost of a ghost, i really do mean it.

what  color  are  you  ?

kuroba  kaito  got  ...

                                                               ...  red.

you  are  angry  ,  aren’t  you.  how  apt.  you  laugh  and  show  your  teeth  when  you  smile  and  never  ever  let  your  audience  forget  that  you  are  dangerous  ,  and  then  when  your  theatre  clears  ,  you  do  not  stop  performing.  you  have  not  stopped  in  a  very  long  time  because  when  you  do  ,  someone  is  going  to  see  you  as  a  person  instead  of  a  pedestal  ,  and  that  is  not  an  option.  when  you  are  vulnerable  again  ,  you  will  be  held.

three out of MANY disguises that kaito has definitely used before.

which  type  of  loneliness  are  you?

kuroba  kaito  is...

                                             standing  at  the  edge  of  the  sea.

the  waves  lap  around  your  ankles  ,  and  it  feels  like  there’s  no  one  around  you  for  miles  and  miles.  you  could  scream  and  the  waves  would  drown  it  all  out.  there’s  no  one  to  hear  you  and  maybe  that’s  a  relief.

what colour is your muse’s love language ? // kuroba kaito. 

                                          Your Result:                                                 Scarlet.

key words: passion, intense, flames. 

a love that lights you on fire. you don't do anything by halves, and this is doubly true when it comes to love. you’re an incredibly intense and complex person. your ideal partner is somebody who can match your intensity and feed the flame that keeps you interested in things. most likely to be great in bed and to break hearts without meaning to, you've probably had few 'casual' relationships and tend to love with your whole heart.

best matched with: scarlet, mulberry, peacock.

how  do  you  get  your  soft  ,  italicised  '  oh  '  moment  ?

kaito’s  result  is...                                                         the  unrelated  moment.

you  tend  to  be  more  preoccupied  with  practical  things  ,  to  the  point  where  you’ve  been  blinded  to  matters  of  the  heart.  sure  ,  you’re  close  with  this  person.  you  like  to  be  close  with  people.  it  is  rewarding  to  know  and  be  known  in  return.  you  leave  realisation  no  choice  but  to  sneak  up  on  you.  they’re  not  even  in  in  the  room  when  it  happens.  someone  or  something  else  spells  it  out  for  you  ,  an  observant  friend’s  passing  comment  or  a  particular  sentence  you  were  reading  in  a  book  ,  and  suddenly  it  hits  you  ,  what  it  all  means.  the  person  your  feelings  have  been  building  themselves  around.  oh.  it’s  them.  it’s  time.  it’s  them  and  you  ,  here  and  now  ,  and  you  have  to  decide  what  to  do  at  this  crossroads.  luckily  ,  you’re  practically-minded.
