Description
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Daisuke Niwa is a 14 year-old-boy who has a special genetic ability: Whenever he sees or thinks about his crush, Risa Harada, he turns into the infamous phantom thief Dark. During the start of the anime, Daisuke carries a picture of Risa Harada in his back pocket for such occasion. This will continue until his love is returned.
Satoshi Hiwatari is a student at the same school as Daisuke and the Harada twins and also the Commander of the police force, heading the investigation on Dark. This is because he is a member of the Hikari family, a clan of artists which has opposed the Niwa family of thieves for centuries. Satoshi has Krad, Dark's opposite and, like him, part of the Hikari artwork "Black Wings", within him in much the same way Daisuke has Dark within him.
Interestingly enough, Risa falls in love with Dark, and proceeds to do all sort of absurd things to get him to go out with her, which he eventually does. She has also kissed him on more than one occasion, and it is hinted that Dark loves Risa; but Dark claims that he does not love her, and that (according to the anime) Risa's grandmother, Rika, is the only woman he has ever loved.
Later in the series Daisuke falls in love with Riku, Risa's older twin although he doesn't realise it at first. Riku is hinted to have always had feelings for Daisuke but at first thinks that he only likes her because she is Risa's twin. Daisuke soon realises his true feelings for her, as does she and their bond of love is formed.
During much of the plot, Satoshi Hiwatari's (adoptive) father, who is a high ranking Police Officer, happens to butt in, and ruin a few of Hiwatari's plans to capture Dark. His father also plans to capture Dark himself. But Dark and Daisuke always manage to escape his plans.

The 14 year old hero of the story, a typical school boy who has a crush on a girl at his school, Harada Risa. He has inherited the Niwa family's genetic curse whereby, after his 14th birthday, his "love gene" activates: whenever he experiences feelings of love or intimacy, he turns into the phantom thief Dark. Very adorable and kind-hearted, he is the opposite of Dark and is always trying to stop Dark from doing crazy stunts. Later on in the series, he falls in love with the older twin sister, Harada Riku. Even if he doesn't look or act like it, Daisuke is very athletic and perceptive and can jump from heights that a normal boy could never be able to do.He is said to have the 'Blood of Thieves' flowing inside him, the Niwa's. He faces daily life-threatening trials from merely entering his home. One of his best skills is his keen ability to pick any kind of mechanical or electronic lock.
Name : Dark Mousy

Dark is an entity passed on through the Niwa family to each new male once he reaches the age of 14 and experiences feelings of love. He was gone for 40 years due to the fact that Daisuke's grandfather Daiki, who was Dark before Daisuke, had an only daughter, Emiko. Being female, it was impossible for her to become Dark. He is the phantom thief who (in the anime) constantly steals cursed art pieces made by the Hikari family in order to seal their harmful powers (the only exception known is the Agate Links, which was an heirloom given as a gift from Daiki to Menou in the anime, but in the manga, it was stolen). Dark had a crush on Riku in the beginning but he starts to warm up to Risa in the manga. In the anime he only loved Risa and Riku's grandmother Rika. Daisuke originally is in love with Risa Harada but later finds out that he truly loves Riku Harada, the older of the twins. He uses Wiz as his wings, since his real ones, like Krad's and their magic, would hurt Daisuke. In the English version, Dark is known as the Phantom Thief Dark, while his whole name apparently being "Dark Mousy." Every time he uses his magic he gets closer and closer to his "true form." In the eighth book of the manga, Krad called Dark "Kokuyoku," referring (once again, in the manga) to Dark's "true name." This name, it seems, is one that Dark and Krad shared when they were both one figure. Taking this into consideration, there are hints both in the anime and manga that Dark and Krad were both an art piece made by the Hikari. In the last episode in the anime, Dark seals himself and Krad back into the statue where he and Krad were made. [Like the first part in the first episode.] They are sealed back into The Black Wings from which they were born.
Name: Hiwatari Satoshi A.K.A Hikari Satoshi

Seemingly always calm and composed, never showing much emotion, Satoshi Hiwatari is a very distant, cold, and silent character, though these qualities never seem to affect how close he keeps to Daisuke Niwa. He is extremely intelligent, having graduated from high school at eight and graduated from Lagoon University at thirteen. However, he attends Daisuke's Junior High School, saying to Daisuke that he does so in an attempt to have a normal life. The reasoning for his ambivalence towards others is unknown, though most of the girls except for Risa and Riku like him. A possible reason behind his lack of willingness to develop friendships is his worry regarding Krad: if he feels emotion for anyone, Krad will attempt to use or kill that person.
He is the police commander in charge of capturing Dark, and due to his family legacy, he is almost obsessive in his attempts to capture the phantom thief. He is the sole living member of the Hikari family, whose artwork is almost always Dark's targets for stealing. He was adopted by a 26-year-old police officer whose family name is Hiwatari, so his name was changed to reflect his adoption. During the course of the story, he begins to care more about Daisuke's safety. He becomes a close friend to Daisuke and it appears that Daisuke is the trigger for Satoshi's curse, Krad, to appear, possibly because Satoshi is in love with Daisuke (hinted at multiple times in the series). Satoshi opposes Krad taking control of his body greatly, and has taken on an uncaring personality to 'seal his heart,' and thus, Krad. Krad is Dark's "evil twin", or opposite, a homicidal blond whose only motivation seems to be getting rid of Dark, Daisuke, and anyone else that comes between him and Satoshi. It is possible that Krad forces his way out of Satoshi, especially when he is angered by the presence of Daisuke/Dark.

Name: Krad

The complete opposite of Dark (Dark's name spelt backwards, even) and also Dark's worst enemy, Krad is the homicidal blond of the series who is the alter-ego of Satoshi Hiwatari. Apparently Daisuke was the reason that Satoshi first transformed into Krad, who absolutely despises Dark and always tries to attack him on sight.
Krad can be called insanely obsessive as he attempts to kill Daisuke after their first encounter because he is very possessive over his host, Satoshi, and does not let him get close to anyone. He affectionately calls him "My everything" or "My Satoshi-sama". Satoshi, however -- like his whole family -- despises Krad. On a side note, despite his claimed affection, Krad does not care whether he hurts Satoshi's body physically by using his wings or using his energy. In Stage 4 (Between the Light and Darkness) Dark says "If you keep using your power like this, your tamer will die!" Thus, if Krad uses enough of his energy, Satoshi would die.
Name: Harada Riku

Riku Harada is the elder of the Harada twins. Unlike her younger sister Risa, who prefers fashion and obsessing over relationships, Riku is more into athletics (lacrosse being her sport) and academics and can be considered to be somewhat of a tomboy. She acts "less girly" compared to her sister Risa and is more serious, independent and down-to-earth. In terms of physical features, her hair is much shorter (about shoulder length) than her sister's and she displays more stamina and fitness (Risa is chauffeured to the train station then rides Riku's bike to school compared to Riku riding her bike to meet her sister then jogging the rest of the way).
She holds an intense dislike for Dark Mousy ever since their first encounter in which he had spotted her after she was done taking a shower then stealing her first kiss. In the anime, he landed on her balcony as she stood outside. Upon seeing him she was startled and in his attempts to quiet her down as to not attract attention, he kissed her. The fact that he stole her first kiss added to her extreme dislike of him.
Riku was not always as close to Daisuke as her sister was to him, she was only thought of by Daisuke as Risa's sister. She did, however, harbor some feelings for him to which she never admitted to anyone, even to herself (this can be seen in some subtle changes in her actions whenever the topic of Daisuke and Risa pops up). Before then, she considered Daisuke as being clumsy, unreliable and not having any apparent qualities that would be of interest to her. Although, as their relationship grew closer she becomes more aware of his strengths and personality and her true feelings start to emerge. Also, rekindled memories from her childhood in which Daisuke (though not knowing who he was at the time) had done very kind things for her which contributed to her developing feelings for him. She even showed certain amounts of jealously to Mio (in the anime) and even towards her surname (in which Daisuke calls both of the twins by their surname, "Harada-san" (Miss Harada in the English dubs), subconsciously she wanted Daisuke to call her by her name). Later on, she finally admits her feelings to Daisuke, and at the same time he admits his feelings for her as well, and they start going out.
Daisuke's alter ego, Dark, appears to show some attraction to her. Riku, on the other hand, does not show the same towards Dark often regarding him as a pervert (since he stole her first kiss) and openly showing her dislike for him. Later in the manga, she is developing a romantic feeling with Dark when he told her that He will definitely bring Risa back.
She also notices that Daisuke can be relied on and is a caring person when he jumps off a ledge to save With from a dangerous fall. Also when she twists her ankle Daisuke carries her up the whole side of the mountain to reach Risa. When he shows that he is worried about her she blushes and starts to realize her true feelings for Daisuke.

The younger, more naive of the Harada twins, Risa is initially the object of Daisuke Niwa's affection. However, she doesn't show the same feelings towards Daisuke as he does for her, considering the fact that he is too normal, only thinking of him as a best friend. Risa starts to develop a crush, which turns into an obsession, on Dark upon seeing his attempt to steal an artwork broadcasted over the news, claiming that he is the mysterious person whom she is destined to be with.
Risa is innocent, clumsy, shrewd and can be seen as your typical "girly-girl", though she shows the same stubbornness, and tenacity as Riku, and prefers fashion and relationships over physical activities. However as the series progresses, Risa grows from being the 'naive, little girl' to a 'mature, young lady'. Other than the fact that she has longer hair and a softer voice, she cannot physically be distinguished from her sister.
In volume 10 she is kidnapped by Argentine while on a date with Dark. In volume 11 she is taken to Argentine's "world" and is asked by Argentine to help him become more like Dark.
Name: Daiki Niwa

** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Daiki is Daisuke's grandfather and Emiko's father. Daiki was Dark 40 years before the series takes place. Unlike Daisuke, he worked many times without Dark, gaining the ability to use wings in human form much sooner than Daisuke does. He took the task of stealing during his time as Dark as though it was his job. In his youth, Daiki has bowl-shaped, crimson hair that later becomes grey and spiked like his grandson's in old age. He appears more often in the manga than he does in the anime series. It seems that his second crush was Menou from love at first sight, since he would always visits and plays with her whenever he finished a job as a Phantom Thief. She in turn seems to like him as well, because she waited for him to come visit her even after death. Because of Daisuke's uncanny resemblance to Daiki when he was young, she mistook him for her friend and thanked him for always helping her and being her friend.
Name: Emiko Niwa

Emiko is Daisuke Niwa's mother. She is extremely hyperactive and does not act her age. She makes unusual clothing for Dark when he goes out to steal artwork. She is also responsible for sending out the notices to the police that tell them what, when, and where Dark's next target will be. Despite the fact that she is in charge of warning notices, Emiko often places them without telling Daisuke, usually ruining Daisuke's social plans. Emiko is very much in love with her husband, Daisuke's father Kosuke. It made her very upset as a young girl that she could not become Dark Mousy. She would beg and plead him to come out and be with her as he does with Daisuke, but he would never appear. Emiko feels responsible for her mother's death, even though her mother did not die in labor. She feels responsible to give birth to a male baby so he could become Phantom Dark Thief one day.
Name: Kosuke Niwa

** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Emiko Niwa's husband is the shy and thoughtful Kosuke Niwa (Koe-skae). He married into the Niwa family and adopted the surname meaning he himself is not a Niwa male. He knows a lot about magic and had been journeying often, not having seen his son for many, many years until he finally returned when Daisuke is 14. Kosuke left when Daisuke was only two years old. He is currently searching for the secrets between the Hikari/Hiwatari and the Niwa family. He is very serious when he needs to be, but generally he seems clumsy, exactly like his son (shown in the manga, having the same reaction as Daisuke Niwa's). He is easily embarrassed by his wife, Emiko and her antics. Kosuke was also one of the few characters who arrived late into the series and his first family name is unknown.
Name: With/Wizu
Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Wiz is the family pet of the Niwa family and Dark's familiar, responding to Dark's call no matter where he is and transforming into a black, winged creature that becomes Dark's wings by clinging to his back. He can also perform other transformations, for example impersonating Dark or Daisuke, but isn't very adept at communicating and does not like learning new words. He hates water, can't swim, is afraid of scary movies, and hates Krad.
In the English manga translation, "With" is also known as "Wiz". Wiz also learns to talk, but says "Daisuki!" instead of "Daisuke," which can be interpreted differently from Japanese (dai means "big" and suki means "like" in Japanese, so Daisuki means "really like" or can even mean "love," which translates into the English anime as "I like you").
