Kaito Kuroba is the titular protagonist of Gosho Aoyama's manga Magic Kaito, and a recurring character in his other manga series Detective Conan. He is a gentleman thief nicknamed the "Kaito Kid".

Since 2018, the Kaito Kid maintains a regular presence in International Saimoe League because of the Detective Conan voter base. He is primarily nominated for being a main character from a manga that pre-dates the creation of Conan Edogawa himself.
Kaito made his first main tournament debut in ISML 2016. He failed to qualify for ISML 2017's tournament despite the low number of nomination votes. The gentleman thief then established his place in the league by making every regular season appearance from ISML 2018 until the latest edition.
In the context of the tournament's "power rankings", Kaito falls squarely in the middle tiers like Conan and Ai Haibara before him. He is able to win against other mid-tier competitors, but loses most of the time to the likes of pendant contenders and characters from prominent series. The thief is also typically eliminated in the middle periods (Amethyst, Sapphire, Emerald). However, in ISML's three-splits era Kaito has been given a chance to win an award in the form of exhibition gems - coming the closest in 2021 when he placed 2nd in the Aquamarine ring gem round.
