Magic Kaito 1412 is a TV anime produced by A-1 Pictures, based on the manga of the same name by Gosho Aoyama, creator of Detective Conan. The 24-episode school mystery series aired starting October 4, 2014, on the Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV network. Kaito Kuroba, a magic-loving high schooler, discovers a hidden door in his home — the final trick left behind by his father, world-renowned magician Toichi Kuroba, who died in an accident during a performance eight years earlier. Behind the door lies the costume of the Phantom Thief Kaito Kid, a legendary international art thief. Realizing his father was secretly Kaito Kid, Kaito resolves to become the second Kaito Kid himself, in pursuit of the truth behind his father's death. The title "1412" refers to Kaito Kid's international criminal case number, and the series includes several episodes that retell events from Detective Conan from Kaito Kid's point of view — a crossover element that makes it a must-watch for fans of both series.
