The time has come for Satoshi to reveal to Daisuke the history behind the Hikari/Niwa curse... Just what is the tragic story behind the works of art left behind, and the family of thieves tasked with stealing them? And when Risa's life is threatened yet again, who will be the one to save her?

Daisuke Niwa
An ordinary, if slightly unlucky, middle school student. Cursed with a hereditary 'condition' upon turning 14, whenever he sees the love of his life he is transformed into the persona of 'Dark,' a magical master-thief.

'Dark'
The phantom thief that Daisuke turns into whenever he sees the girl he has a crush on.

Risa Harada
The young girl that Daisuke has the hots for. She is a bit out of his league, though -- at least that's what Risa thinks. She has an ultra-competitive relationship with her sister, Riku.

Riku Harada
Risa's twin sister. The thing is, the phantom thief Dark is ga-ga for this twin. And when he sees her ... you guessed it, he turns back into Daisuke.

Satoshi Hiwatari
Classmate of Daisuke's. He's somewhat aloof and extremely intelligent. He may just be Dark's/Diasuke's undoing.

Inspector Saehara
The detective obsessed with capturing the infamous Dark ... so far with less than impressive results.
