In MK volume 3, it was mentioned that Kid's IQ was 400. Aoyama might have exaggerated here; but there's no doubt that, then, Kaito should be highly intelligent.
However, Kaito is just passed off as an average and slightly hyperactive kid in class, and he seemed to be prodigy in no field.
I wonder why. Well, even Hajime Kindaichi (The Kindaichi's Case Files) got some recognization from the police.

The highest IQ possible is probably no higher than 300. I dont even think Einstein topped 200. And I wouldnt put Kid as high as Einstein. He's definately smarter than Shinichi though. Maybe even smarter than me.
Besides, an IQ is an intelligence quotent, not a trivia test. Shinichi may know more random facts, but his intelligence is how he solves cases. Kaito's intelligence is how he pulls off creative and unexpected crimes that thwart even the combined efforts of Conan and Heiji. Therefore, Kaito is more intelligent than Shinichi/Conan. What I want to know is if he is more intelligent than Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, who's done a good job of messing with Shinichi/Conan too.

Which file is it? I only have the ones in Chinese, don't remember where that piece of information is from.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it. So, either Aoyama-sensei made a mistake, or Kaito is a super genius. Going with the first one.

I think Aoyama-sensei was just exaggerating-- he just want to mean Kid is highly intelligent.

I still want to see if Yusaku can thwart Kaito. I think he can.

It defenatly would be interesting-but why all the buzz about Yusaku thwarting Kid? Did he used to chace Touchi?(wow, my gramer sucks-I mean, 'Did he used...'. God, I'm dumb.)
But, as to why he doesn't [constantly] flaunt his intellegence, even before he became Kid, may have a bit of a psycological aspect to it. I beleive, that when he was younger he used to flaunt it all the time, but after his fathers death his teachers thought of moving him up a grade, which scared him. He didn't want to be draged away from Aoko, his best friend, and therefore toned it down conciderably. But, then again, I'm looking at it from the point of view of a Westerner, so it most liekly isn't that, seeing as how the Japanese look at things differently than we do. The scores are out of the whole grade, so undoubtably he was not the highest. He may have been in the top 50, but that was probably chalked up to studying.
As for his IQ, I think we should mark it up there with Hakuba's. Didn't our favorite Half-Brittish detective mention it when he was shamelessly flirting with Aoko in one of the first episodes he appeared in, along with his age, sign, DOB, and blood type? I'd most likely peg it just a few points higher than that of Hakuba's; after all, doesn't Kid always manage to slip from his grasp at the last moment?

I have no idea if Yusaku even heard of Touchi...
Either he's the ADD type, or he doesnt want to stand out. The poker face. Always remain neutral.

We can just rule out that he has AD/HD if Hakuba concluded that Kid is attentive-- and I suppose he implied that Kid is extremely so. He looked hyperactive though. Well, Icka's analysis said he's the class clown, and no poker face can do that; if he used the poker face, he wouldn't stand out at all. Note: This is my 100th post! Yay! |

Or, maybe he acts out in class so that nobody suspects he's Kid. After all, Kid is so meticulous, how could the hyper kid ever be him?
I still think the Magic Kaito manga looks like it takes place atleast 2 years before he shows up in Detective Conan. He seems older and less hyper.

That may have to do with drawing ability, or the fact that whenever Kaito appears in DC, he's Kid and therefore on a heist, trying to steal one jewel or another.
BTW, when Hakuba first appeared in DC, Kid was trying to steal something gold. Why is that? Shouldn't he just be going after jewels?

moochan: He started to look after big jewels after he found put about the pandora gem. Or, maybe he acts out in class so that nobody suspects he's Kid. After all, Kid is so meticulous, how could the hyper kid ever be him? He's been hyper before he even knew about Kid; check MK file 1.

I think if Yuusaku wanted to, he could capture Kid. Maybe Shinichi should try to get his dad over and catch him! Does Shinichi know that kaito looks like him?

Naw, I don't think Shinichi knows him and Kaito look alike. But, I don't think Yusaku would be able to catch Kid either. Kid's been playing in all his heists; it's been nothing but a game to him, really-now imagine what it would be like if he got serious. If Kid wanted to, he could sneak in unnoticed and steal the gem, check it, and return it before anyone noticed. On that thought, wouldn't it just be easier if Kaito worked in a museum and, like, took care of all the gems or something? Then he could check them, and not risk going to jail... samuel Curtis: But Hakuba appeared AFTER Kaito found that out, so why would he be trying to steal something gold? It could be he doesn't want a solid MO... |

It could be he doesn't want a solid MO... He wasnt after the gold. The old lady tricked eveyone whos a detective (except Heiji) into coming to the mansion and said Kaito Kid wanted it. Kaito disguised himself as Kogoro to see what was really going on and found out that it was just a trick planned by the old hag all along. He wasnt stealing gold. |
