Lupin III (ルパン三世, Rupan Sansei), also known as Lupin the 3rd, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuhiko Kato under the pen name of Monkey Punch. The story follows the adventures of a gang of thieves led by Arsène Lupin III, the grandson of Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief of Maurice Leblanc's series of novels. Lupin and his gang travel throughout the world to steal treasures and escape from the law.
Arsène Lupin III is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series, Lupin III and of Miyazaki's film, The Castle of Cagliostro. In Monkey Punch's original manga, Lupin is cocky, quite crude, and for the most part remorseless. He is very much the ladies' man, often using them for his own gains, but is not beyond forcing himself upon women who resist him. This is in stark contrast to his better-known anime self, who despite being a skilled thief, comes off as a goofball and will go to great lengths to right injustice, who also shows a chivalrous streak that compels him to help those less fortunate than he. Furthermore, Lupin often takes it upon himself and his gang to stop criminals engaged in more violent crimes and leave them for Zenigata to arrest. In the anime, while he fancies himse

Lupin O'Mariuolo è un noto ladro nippo-franco-napoletano di autoradio, conosciuto anche come "Arsenico e vecchi merletti" o come "Lupin Terzo" per essersi piazzato terzo al torneo di scopone scientifico della sua parrocchia per cinque anni di fila. Dopo essersi ridotto a rubare una Fiat Duna parcheggiata davanti a un supermercato fu notato dal noto mangaka Monkey Punch, che colpito dal fatto che ci fossero ancora in giro ladri con il coraggio di rubare una Duna decise di raccontare le sue avventure in un fumetto prima e in tre serie a cartoni animati poi, con un'infinità di film e special TV. Il nome Monkey Punch deriva dal suo stile di disegno, molto simile a quello dello scimpanzé Jimmy che, accortosi del plagio, gli tirò un pugno dritto sul naso.
Arsène Lupin III is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series, Lupin III and of Miyazaki's film, The Castle of Cagliostro. In Monkey Punch's original manga, Lupin is cocky, quite crude, and for the most part remorseless. He is very much the ladies' man, often using them for his own gains, but is not beyond forcing himself upon women who resist him. This is in stark contrast to his better-known anime self, who despite being a skilled thief, comes off as a goofball and will go to great lengths to right injustice, who also shows a chivalrous streak that compels him to help those less fortunate than he. Furthermore, Lupin often takes it upon himself and his gang to stop criminals engaged in more violent crimes and leave them for Zenigata to arrest. In the anime, while he fancies himself a ladies' man, his actual success with women is erratic, appearing to fluctuate with the writer. Even though his gang's loyalty has been an issue, with Fujiko willing to betray and cohort Goemon promising to eventually kill him, Lupin will still drop everything to come to their aid in a helpless moment; further the team would rather face torture than to betray Lupin (or he betray them) to a third party. Curiously, this rule of loyalty extends also to Inspector Zenigata, who Lupin considers a respected friend and opposition. The Inspector reciprocates this regard and out of gratitude has vowed never to attempt to kill Lupin. Lupin's vendetta against the Tarantula Gang in Memory of the Walther P-38 was partly settling of past betrayal and mostly vengeful payback for their shooting and nearly killing Zenigata. It seems Lupin loves to steal more than actually having the treasure he sought. Lupin relishes more in the challenge of stealing and, as long as he succeeds in the heist, is usually not that upset when he ends up empty-handed; there have been times he has lost the object or intentionally thrown it away. There have also been times when Lupin stole an object only to give it to someone else, such as if it rightfully belonged to them or they needed it more than he did.

Il mangaka, inoltre, non avendo avuto alcun benestare da Lupin, venne trascinato in tribunale per violazione dei diritti d'autore; il processo si svolse in Italia con rito abbreviato, così dopo trentacinque anni il noto ladro napoletano potè ascoltare la sentenza definitiva che gli dava finalmente giustizia.

The series remains popular and the anime adaptions have attracted the attention of directors such as Shinichirō Watanabe and Steven Spielberg. Although the series is popular with critics, some elements of the English adaptions have been criticized for language and the use of contemporary references that were not present in the original. For several years, issues relating to the copyright of Maurice Leblanc's intellectual property meant that the Lupin name was removed from releases outside of Japan. However the copyright has now expired, allowing foreign releases to use the Lupin name.
