Lupin III is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Japanese manga and anime series called "Lupin III" created by Monkey Punch. He is a master thief and a gentleman thief who travels the world in search of valuable treasures and riches to steal.
Lupin is a man constantly seeking adventure and challenges to test his talents. He is very proud to be descended from Arsène Lupin, a well-known XX century thief.
He is often accompanied by his partners in crime, including Daisuke Jigen, a skilled marksman and Lupin's closest ally, Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a samurai and expert swordsman, and Fujiko Mine, a femme fatale who often double-crosses Lupin III.
The Lupin III series has been popular in Japan and internationally since its debut in the 1960s, and it has been adapted into numerous manga, anime, and live-action films and TV series. Lupin III remains one of the most iconic and beloved characters in Japanese pop culture.
Lupin III is a very likeable gentleman thief always struggling with difficult thefts to pull off. His adventures are usually fun and exciting, and our hero devises funny but very clever plans to steal his targets.
Despite being a criminal, many times Lupin and his friends fight thieves more wicked than themselves and organizations that threaten humanity, either to seize their treasures or to save innocents.
Lupin III's adventures are very surreal, and the gentleman thief often makes use of funny and nonviolent ploys to achieve his ends.
Lupin has a childlike nature and many times, to get rid of pursuers or knock out enemies, he uses tickling so as to get rid of them without hurting them.
