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.
