This sort of thing is not what we need to convince the Japanese politicians that the "healthy development of youth" ordinance is a bad idea... >.>;;

What part of "kaito" don't they understand? LOL

Anyway, looking forward to the Kaito Saint Tail version of the story!

Shouldn't the article also say "Named themselves After Conan and Lupin"? Cool

I think in any situation involving theft or something, we'd probably use an anime-related pseudonym. I know I would.

The "Lupin Corps" was an older gang; only one of the three currently arrested suspects was allegedly involved in that gang, and it was exposed in 2008.

Doing it wrong! A heist note, some disguises, magic tricks, and a hangglider or NOTHING.

COPS: Freeze! You're under arrest!
ME: U-uh...*hands behind head*
COPS: What's your name, kid?
ME: ...How about Psiren?
COPS: What?
ME: Yeah. Psiren works. You'll never take me alive, mortals! Haha! *blasts hole through wall with alchemy and escapes*

I'd say your theory proves pretty much infallible~

I'm not sure which I find worse, that the motive was that they were just bored and wanted something to do, or that they used an anime related name which reflects poorly on anime.
