Overview
This is the first film in the third installment of the adventure film for boys that depicts the battle between a thief who calls himself "the secret envoy of the Demon Lord" and private investigator Hideo Sayama. In the Toei, the roles are twenty faces and Kogo (Twenty Faces) and Akechi Kogo, with a content that seems to be strongly conscious of the "boys' Detectives" series of Edogawa Rampo, which was later made into a movie.

Primary
Given the generic 'phantom thief' narrative without specific plot details, the film is rated neutral as it likely focuses on individual action, adventure, and a personal moral code rather than explicit political ideology or systemic critique.
This Japanese film from the 1960s/70s features casting and narrative elements consistent with its cultural origin and era. It does not exhibit explicit DEI-driven casting, such as the recasting of traditionally white roles with minority actors, nor does its narrative center on strong critiques of traditional identities. The film's approach to character representation and thematic framing aligns with conventional practices of its time and place.
Secondary
Based on the information provided, 'Maboroshi Kaito Dan' does not appear to feature identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Therefore, an evaluation of its portrayal is not applicable, as there is no depiction to assess.
Based on available information for this 1949 film, there are no documented instances of female characters engaging in or winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents. Female characters do not appear to have significant action roles involving such combat.
Research indicates "Maboroshi Kaito Dan" (1955) is not an adaptation of a widely established source material with pre-existing characters whose genders were altered. There is no evidence of historical figures being portrayed with a different gender. Therefore, no characters meet the definition of a gender swap.
