Touichi Kuroba

Toichi Kuroba (黒羽 盗一Kuroba Tōichi? ) is Kaito Kuroba 's father, a world-renowned magician, and the original Kaito Kid.

Background
Toichi's first heist was how he first met his wife. It involved him wearing an outfit that was in homage for the great Arsène Lupin for his next magic show. Toichi saved Chikage which is how they fell in love. When people saw it, Toichi automatically knew the outfit was going to be his costume.

Toichi as Kid was the greatest jewel thief in Japan as well as the best stage magician in Japan until he was murdered in a fake magic accident. Sometime prior to his death, Toichi had his attendant and friend Konosuke Jii promise him that he would never tell Kaito about his thieving. In the manga, Kaito's mother was aware of her husband's double life and is aware that Kaito discovered Toichi's secret room within their household.

It was implied that Toichi's magic teacher was world-renowned British magician James Hopper, whose granddaughter Kaito defended against Snake.

Personality
Toichi seems to have a playful atmosphere about himself, not unlike his son Kaito, as demonstrated by his amusing magic tricks to delight his audience.
