Magic Kaito (Japanese: まじっく快斗 Hepburn: Majikku Kaito?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama, that began in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday in 1987. The story tells of a phantom thief named Kaito Kid (怪盗キッド Kaitō Kiddo?). Aoyama stopped work on the manga after the first two tankōbon volumes were published in 1988, and only occasionally draws new chapters; a third volume was published in 1994 and a fourth in 2007. Kaito Kid and other characters from Magic Kaito make occasional appearances in Detective Conan, another manga series by Aoyama that has also been adapted into an anime.
Twelve animated television specials based on the series have been produced by TMS Entertainment and aired between 2010 and 2012. A 24-episode anime series titled Magic Kaito 1412 (まじっく快斗1412?) was created by A-1 Pictures and aired from October 4, 2014 to March 28, 2015.
