In every spy show, spies usually have a codename, so it isn't surprising that Loid Forger has one too, although "Loid Forger" itself is also a fake name. As a spy, he uses the codename "Twilight," but is there a reason behind that? Why did Loid choose "Twilight" as his codename in Spy x Family?
The word "Twilight" means a glowing light from the sky. Sometimes, it also refers to a state of ambiguity.
Is the codename related to those definitions or does the word have a special meaning for the male protagonist? Read on to find out!

Why Is Loid Called Twilight?
Tatsuya Endo, the creator of Spy x Family, has not yet explained the reason behind Loid's codename. But if we were to try and analyze the word, it might have something to do with Twilight’s specialty.
In Japanese, "twilight" translates to “tasogare,” which means “who is that?”. It is related to the phenomenon during twilight when things start to get completely dark before nighttime, making it hard to distinguish faces.
In Spy x Family, Twilight is known for having many faces. He can easily disguise himself as another person to complete his mission, which is somehow related to the expression and definition of twilight.
As a spy, Twilight has kept his real appearance a mystery so that not one of his enemies knows his real face. This is why the codename is perfect for him and his job as a spy.

Will Twilight's Real Name Be Revealed?
Currently, in the manga and anime, Loid’s real name has not yet been revealed. But what we do know for now is that "Loid Forger" is a name he uses for Operation Strix and "Twilight" is his codename as a spy.
In the manga, it was revealed that Loid became a soldier after his family and friends died during the war.
He decided to use the identity of a dead man and eventually got discovered by WISE.
His amazing impersonation skills were the main reason he was recruited to become a spy and he was able to use his skills as a soldier throughout his missions.
Hopefully, the manga will provide us with more backstory about Loid and why he became a spy.
It would be interesting to know his real name too if ever it gets revealed in the future.
