They don't have an English name for him. All it says in the credits is "Phantom Theif." I guess that means we have to wait to learn his English name. (is it really so hard to figure out that he's a phantom theif that goes by KID? Well, I guess that's better than what they could have done to it.) Did you know he has a different voice actor that "Jimmy"?
... he does have a different voice actor than Jimmy-?!
Thought that was one of the things that they were doing to kinda preserve some of the integrity of the show, have both Jimmy and Kid with the same VA, like in the Japanese...
On Anime News Network, they list his name as 'Phantom Thief Kid'
Huh. But Black Star is the Case where they explain the whole 1412/KID thing too... o_O
I wish I were kidding (get it? Kidding? XD Sorry, bad pun). They list a different actor for his voice. Jimmy is done by Jerry Jewell and Phantom Thief by Mike McFarland.
I listened to parts of the dub (which the voices were about what I expected voice-wise) and discovered that they call him "Phantom" for short, not Kid. Other parts screwed up the dialogue so much it doesn't mean the same thing that was originally said. The people who watch the dub alone are being screwed over big time.
*whimpers* Why did I have to listen to parts of the dub again? Am I masochistic?
and I thought I was interested in watching the US dub... :co (But I still take it for granted they can't do a grittier voice than Kogoro's french VA... Just the DVD menu made me cringe in france >.<; )
Wouldn't we have to wait till the ep after sunset mansion to get Kaito's dub name? You know, the special inspired from the Kid vs Kudo case in magic Kaito?
(Oh well... I Goes back to wondering how people got Katie Thompson as Kazuha's dub name... That's nearly my family name! >.<;; )
Well, the voices aren't too bad for some of the characters but they slaughtered Megure's and Agasa's voices. Yeah, the dub is painful to watch if you know what they originally said but even if you didn't I still think I would have a problem with it because some of the stuff has little to do with each other.
Yeah, we have to wait a while for Kaito's name. Maybe that's a good thing.

But like I said, is still just a rumour. ^^;;

And I don't drink or do drugs. ^_________^
