Description
Phantom Thief N is one of the phantom thieves featured in the 2025 animated film Eiga Oshiri Tantei: Star and Moon. He is a member of the Phantom Thief Academy, an international criminal organization headquartered on Stardust Island and led by Phantom Thief G. Within that group he stands alongside other thieves identified in the film, such as H, Q, T, Z, I, K, and B, all of whom serve the Academy's agenda.
His most clearly documented trait is that he was once defeated by Butt Detective, the detective who is the central figure of the film's conflict. This prior loss gives him a personal history with the protagonist and places him in a category of thieves who have faced the detective before. In terms of personality, he is described as someone who enjoys watching tragedy, a characteristic that distinguishes him from his colleagues, whose known traits include ambition, physical fitness, inventiveness, and collecting.
In the story, the Academy is pursuing a secret scheme called the Dark Age Plan from its underground base on Stardust Island. As a member of the organization, N is aligned with the Academy when Butt Detective, acting in disguise, cooperates with the independent phantom thief U to stop the plan and recover the Moonlight Stone. N's part in the film is thus that of an opponent connected to the Academy, and his earlier defeat by Butt Detective provides the main thread linking him to the protagonist's past.
