Source?

"...and has never received a compliment in his life..." tell me where gosho aoyama said this about kaito kuroba —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.99.188 (talk) 13:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

What makes this character notable enough to have his own article? So far, there are no reliable third-party sources from which to presume notability. --Farix (Talk) 13:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He does have his own manga predating Detective Conan (it was started in 1988 by Gosho Aoyama). Also, Kaito Kid appears often enough as a reoccurring character in Detective Conan - he appears in nine cases in the manga (see this site that has a nice organized list of each appearance), in the anime episodes mirroring the manga cases, and in three of the movies (Last Wizard of the Century, Magician of the Silver Sky, and Requiem of the Detectives), as well as tie-in OVAs.

Trivia Section

For all the other Case Closed Characters I managed to get rid of their trivia section, and merge almost all the information inot the artcile, or make better sections (like info on name and age for examples), but for this character I find it hard to place this random information into the artcile, or into appropriate sections. A little help please? I would rather not just delete this info, it is useful. - Prede (talk) 21:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made multiple nw sections and removed the trivia section sense Trivia Sections are discouraged by Wikipedia rules. I added a lot of information as well. Please fix any mistakes you see, and if you feel any other section is needed (or not needed) due to the removal of the triva section, please state so, or better yet make it(fix/delete it) yourself. I am currently happy with the detail of this artcile, and the newer sections, but some sections may need a copy/edit. Also more information under these new sections can only improve the artcile. I would like some more info there... - Prede (talk) 01:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"in-universe" tag

Can we remove this tag yet? I don't find any reason to keep it here. If there is/are reason(s) to keep the tag, then what should be re-written specifically? Any help? I don't want to take the tag down, becuase I am unsure of why it is there in the first place. What part(s) should be re-written? - Prede (talk) 21:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KID and the Kurobas

KID is the title of a Kaitou, which by itself is independent of the two Kurobas. As a result, I don't think describing Kaito when he's not Kid is appropriate. However, I don't know where can that be moved to...--Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 02:29, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Me too, since that information doesn't swirl with Kaito Kid Info and since there were two Kaito Kids, I separated them and pretended they were different people. I'm trying to keep Kaito Kid Charachter less but since the past experience of the Original Kaito Kid is unknown, I replace the experience with Kuroba Kaito's. Also I combined the facts like gadgets and fears. There was no need for those sections.Dragonsblast (talk) 02:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This just came to me. Since this Kaitou Kid page is all about Kuroba Kaitou, it should just say Kaito Kid is Kuroba Kaitou and add any information about his father to his father's page. I'll work on the page when I have free time to combine Kaito Kid and Kuroba into one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonsblast (talk • contribs) 05:04, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think we should staying talking the Kid here. For any of the Kurobas, we can conveniently make up a List of Magic Kaito characters or something...--Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 18:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page Renamed to Kaito Kuroba

Well, he is the protagonist of the series, not "Kaito Kid". Kaito Kid is an alias so I suggest the page be moved to Kaito Kuroba.DragonZero (talk) 18:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is no disagreement, I shall be moving it.DragonZero (talk) 07:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be under his english name, sense Jimmy Kudo, Booker Kudo, etc. are all listed under their english names? - Prede (talk) 08:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He doens't have an English name I'm pretty sure, since the series he stars in his not published in English.DragonZero (talk) 09:18, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kaito Kid or Kaitou Kid?

Since the name's translated from Japanese to English, I'm not sure which it is. Is there any proof whether it's one or the other?DragonZero (talk) 03:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kaito Kid; well its not "Jimmy Kudou" but "Jimmy Kudo" right.... Kenrick Talk 14:33, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1412

In Viz's release of Conan it gives something like an explanation that the Kid name comes from his title International Criminal 1412, the numbers "1412" are shown being altered to look like "KID". Is this something Viz added or is it in the Japanese? If it is the official origin of the name than clearly it should be added. Xfansd (talk) 16:07, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm that this explanation was in Ep. 76 of Detective Conan (Case Closed). It's long time ago. --Quest for Truth (talk) 13:09, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kaito Kid's mom

I know that it's a kind of spoiler, but shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere that Kid's mother is the Phantom Lady? and with some biography of hers... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.28.142 (talk) 00:35, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
