Just to do something about look-alikes and comparisons. Based on things I’ve been mistaken as being Kaito Kid in cosplay. Because, costumes can be difficult to distinguish between, but really. If it’s mostly accurate to something, there are obvious differences.
Arsène Lupin, 1905. Gentleman thief and source of inspiration for quite a few stories and characters.
Moriarty from Sherlock Hound, 1984
Kaitou Kid from Magic Kaito, 1987
Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon, 1992 (Just so say, people, no, when I’m Kid, you have no excuse to say Tuxedo Mask. White is not black. The only excuse is possibly King Endymion, and he’s only wearing all white in Crystal. Sorry, no. It’s the most common mistake, but makes the least sense.)
Sven from Black Cat, 2000
Annoyance Excalibur from Soul Eater, 2004
Count Bleck from Super Paper Mario, 2007
Mephisto Pheles from Ao no Exorcist, 2009
There are probably more, but this is my personal ‘look alike’ mix up experiences with my precious of Kid. I know the other characters, and like most, but they are very different. Please bear in mind. Cosplayers do not mind being mistaken for others, and I normally wave it off as well, but it does get under my skin at some of the guesses. I might not get offended by them, as Kaitou Kid isn’t too well known in general as the others are, but some might be. Heck, how many people knew about Moriarty?
