Kid, the phantom thief surfaced first 18 years ago in Paris, and for 10 years since then he has been eluding the police and capture. However, he disappeared for reasons unknown, and many thought him to be dead.
That Kaitou was Toichi Kuroba, the famous magician. He had been murdered by the Black Organization when interfering in their plans to find Pandora, the mystic red gem within a gem that was thought to be visible under the moon's light and cried tears of immortality during a comet's pass.
Now, 8 years later, his son, Kuroba Kaito, has taken up the role as the mysterious thief to find the people who murdered his father, and prevent them from finding the Pandora.
In his life as Kaito Kuroba however, he's just your average school-skipping, skirt flipping, desk hopping, tricks popping, sports playing, fish fearing, disguse wearing, news reading, broom avoiding, genius teen magician. His best friend is Aoko Nakamori, just ironically is daughter to the police inspector trying to catch the Kid, Inspector Ginzo Nakamori, and just happens to be a girl *cough cough*. She's also love interest for London detective Saguru Hakuba, who is also after Kid, and rival to Kaito. Not to mention the black sorceress Akako Koizumi who just happens to be trying to make every man in the world her loveslave and is currently after the fish who got away -- Kaito himself.
Just your normal bunch of students. *cough*
Magic Kaito is pretty much a humorous manga, but is discontinued. I think vol 4's come out, but I haven't seen it -_-. This series also merges a lot with Gosho's other popular series, Detective Conan, and Kid does appear 4 times in it (vol 16, 20, 30 and movie 3).
Thus, the magician under the moonlight lives on.
