Lupin III
(Lupin the Third)
(Rupan III)
Based on a wildly successful manga by Monkey Punch, Lupin III chronicles the adventures of the third generation of "gentleman thieves," who is a direct decendant of the notorious French "gentleman thief", Lupin. He is aided by his co-conspirators Jigen Daisuke, Ishikawa Goemon and Lupin's on again, off again love interest, Mine Fujiko. Lupin's gang is relentlessly chased by Inspector Zenigata of Interpol.
Lupin's voice was played by the late Furukawa Toshio, who was one of Japan's most famous and beloved seiyu until his death at age 57.
