5 Cool Gadgets Kaitou Kid Owns That Rival Conan's!
Conan isn't the only one with cool gadgets made by Professor Agasa. Kaitou Kid has his own impressive tools, and they're just as awesome! He uses them to pull off his heists, keeping everyone on edge—from the Tokyo police to the CIA, FBI, and even Interpol.
Kaitou Kid's gadgets may be fewer in number compared to Conan's, but they're still high-tech! You might have seen them in the Detective Conan movies or manga when the master thief makes an appearance. What are these gadgets? Let's check them out!
1. Card Gun

This gadget is one of Kaitou Kid's signature weapons. It looks like a regular gun, but instead of bullets, it shoots playing cards—just like a magician’s trick! The card gun matches Kaitou Kid's white outfit.
It’s used just like any other gun—pull the trigger, and the card shoots out at high speed, almost like a bullet. Kaitou Kid often uses this when he’s cornered or trying to distract those chasing him. So far, no one has ever been hurt by this clever gadget!
2. Hang Glider Cape

If you’ve ever noticed Kaitou Kid’s white tuxedo with those wing-like tails, you’ve probably guessed there’s more to it than just style. Hidden within is a hang glider that helps him make quick escapes! Just like a regular hang glider, Kaitou Kid uses air currents to soar through the sky.
While it’s designed for one person, Kaitou Kid once used it to save Conan when he was thrown from Jirokichi’s airship by terrorists (as seen in Detective Conan: The Lost Ship in the Sky).
3. Turbo Engine Scooter

In addition to his hang glider, Kaitou Kid has another gadget hidden beneath his cape—a turbo-powered scooter. This scooter is equipped with a turbo engine at the back and a mini propeller on the front, giving it some serious speed.
Though it’s part of Kaitou Kid’s gadget collection, the scooter doesn’t appear too often in the anime or manga. One notable appearance is in episode 76 of Detective Conan, when Kaitou Kid attempts to steal the Black Star jewel from the Suzuki family.
4. Turbo Engine Skates

These skates are quite similar to Professor Agasa's invention, which allows Conan to zip around quickly thanks to solar-powered turbo engines. However, while Conan's gadget is more of a skateboard, Kaitou Kid's version is roller skates.
Like most of Kaitou Kid’s gadgets, he uses these skates to escape when being chased. These turbo skates only appear in episode 4 of the Magic Kaito anime. Not too many people are familiar with this episode, right?
5. Smoke Bomb

One of Kaitou Kid’s classic tools is the smoke bomb. He first used it when stealing the famous black pearl from the Suzuki family. The black pearl was displayed on the luxury cruise ship Queen Selizabeth (check out the story in Detective Conan Vol. 16).
Kaitou Kid disguised the smoke bombs as black pearl replicas, which were handed out as souvenirs to the guests. When the real pearl was announced to be among the passengers, he tossed some of these replicas, and they exploded into thick smoke, causing panic. In the chaos, he made his move.
So there you have it—five of Kaitou Kid's coolest gadgets, frequently used during his grand heists. There are other gadgets that appear occasionally in the series, comics, or movies, but these are the ones he uses the most.
