Kid's Tie

[sexysmirk]

So I want to do Kaito Kid as my cosplay project this year for a con coming up in January. But after looking at all of my pictures, I have a question.

Is Kaito Kid's tie pink or red?

I've seen pictures from the manga where its both, and I have pictures from the anime where its both. And in some cases, it's arguable.

So I figured I'd ask other Kid fans!!

Kid's tie is red

Yep, it's red.
But it all depends on how old the actual picture is, and in what sort of lighting Aoyama-sensei drew it in. On the cover of my copies of the first and second volumes (of MK), the tie looks pink, but that's also because it's an old, original copy, and the coloring faded a little. On the third volume, it's red, and on the fourth, you can't see his tie at all. Also, (in my case, it might just be a misprint) but on the thrid volume cover, KID's ribbon on the hat and the shirt underneath the jacket are purple... And then, there are blue spots in his hair on the first, second, and fourth volumes.

It's just like Kaito's Gakuran school jacket. Normally, it's supposed to be black, but on the color pages of the original "Clock Tower" manga chapters, his uniform is colored navy blue because it's night, but there's a tiny bit of lighting.

This thread help me! I've been wondering about this for a long time > <;;

Thanks XDD!!

Well, now I read Magic Kaito for the first time last night and in all of those pictures it was pink. So is it really red? Rawr.

I've actually cosplayed as KID, and the tie I used is red.

I'm going to echo the others and say that it's red. 

Unless you're going to cosplay as Kaitou Kid from the movies.  In which case the tie is orange (though it's red in movie 3). 

[sexysmirk]

Red it is then!! I'll make sure to post pictures once I get the whole thing together.

Thanks guys!!

I think it's probably red, though it does look pretty orange in the movies. It's hard to tell from manga covers because often they tend to alter the colours of outfits to go with a tankoban's cover's colour scheme (Maison Ikkoku and the early volumes of InuYasha did it all the time). But i'd say red.

Red...

But I think it depends on the shading that they do in his appearances and stuff....but if ur gonna cosplay then wear a red tie.
