The international crime number of Kaito Kidd is 1412. When Kudo Yusaku was looking at the criminal information of the first-generation Kid (Kuroba Toichi, the father of the current Kaito Kid and the world's top magician), he misread the scrawled "1412" written by a reporter as "KID. ” and spread thereafter. The first stroke of "1" and "4" is "<", forming "K"; the second stroke of "4", "1", is "I"; the combination of "1" and "2" is "D.". So Kudo Yusaku gave the criminal the nickname: "KID." (Don't ignore ".", with "." it is the deformation of "1412") It is the abbreviation of the English name "KID". Therefore, Kuroba Toichi calls himself "Shinichi" when he meets Shinichi in Shinichi Elementary School. younger brother". Kudo Yusaku is also known as Kaito Kidd's "father of naming", but Yusaku never named Kaito.
