Chimagusa was a world-famous thief known by the flashy alias the Bizarre Phantom Thief. He never appears alive in the story; his death comes at the hands of Flashy Flash, and his name surfaces only when two ninjas try, and fail, to use it as a cover.
Chimagusa earned genuine notoriety, ranked among the most infamous thieves anywhere and operating under the theatrical title of Bizarre Phantom Thief, rendered elsewhere as the Freak Phantom Thief. Beyond that reputation, the series lets very little of his actual character show.
His fate ties into the clash between Flashy Flash and the ninja duo Gale Wind and Hellfire Flame. During that fight Gale Wind insisted the two of them had been hired by Chimagusa, but Flash saw through the lie at once, revealing that he had already killed the thief himself.
