==Summary==
Lupin III (ルパン三世, Rupan Sansei) is the grandson of Arsène Lupin, and is the world's most wanted gentleman thief.
He sometimes appears incompetent, but mostly as a charade to catch his opponents off guard. While he has been arrested and thrown in jail on a number of occasions, he has always managed to break out. He also has a fondness for fancy gadgets from time to time, such as in The Castle of Cagliostro where his belt features many small gadgets. His infatuation with women, and Fujiko Mine in particular, is perhaps his biggest weakness, as it often lands him in undesirable situations. He continues his grandfather's legacy of thievery.
Lupin is acknowledged by virtually every law agency on earth as the world's number one thief. Often in his adventures, he and his colleagues, Daisuke Jigen and Goemon Ishikawa XIII, will take it upon themselves to foil other criminals engaged in more violent crimes. While first glance may imply Lupin as fun-loving, flighty, perhaps even "goofy", his surface facade overcoats a brilliant imagination and a thorough knowledge of a hundred varying sciences. Forever extemporizing and reevaluating, Lupin has been responsible for heists no right-minded individual would believe possible. While arrested and jailed on numerous occasions, typically by his nemesis Inspector Zenigata, he has always managed to escape. He has a fondness for fancy gadgets from time to time plus hands-on experience in many skills a thief would find useful. His infatuation with Fujiko Mine is perhaps his most significant weakness, as it lands him in undesirable situations most of the time.

Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Lupin shows amazing intuition and awareness of his surroundings and possesses encyclopedic knowledge of various topics, such as history, literature, sciences, fluency in multiple languages, etc. Lupin often creates near-perfect disguises of people and can mimic their voices after only just meeting them. Lupin was able to discover that Yael Okuzaki was using a device hidden on his eye that allowed him to see the cameras in the entire city. Lupin was able to fool Zenigata into believing that he was dead by painting a realistic image on the floor made of spoiled foods.Part 4, Episode 13: The End of Lupin III Is adroit enough to easily detect fake paint when that even experts can't tell which what art is authentic. Lupin is also a formidable escape artist, capable of cracking any safe or freeing himself from shackles in moments. Solved the mystery of the Tower of Babel, when not even members of an advanced alien civilization could during thousands of years. Decrypted in one night the hidden code written in multiple languages by Wataru Uraga. Wataru is a genius scientist that was capable to create a method to implant a personification of himself inside someone's subconscious, by simply reading the previously mentioned code. Was the first human to wake up and be deemed worthy by Da Vinci, a clone of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci made up with all the greatest minds of the past (by using Wataru's knowledge), who could easily replicate Wataru Uraga's invention but on a massive scale, to the point to making everyone in Italy fall asleep, and was going to replace all those people's personalities with his own, only to fail due to Lupin.Part 4, Episode 23: World Dissection (Part One) Ultimately beat Mamo, a being claimed to be thousands of years old, who had acquired the knowledge and wisdom of all geniuses, scientists and philosophers of history, and who had claimed to be behind most historical events.

Weaknesses: Lupin doesn't like to kill, but he will if he has to. Sometimes, if he does not have any information on an opponent or is not fully prepared for a fight, he can be caught off guard. His pronounced attraction towards beautiful women, especially Fujiko, frequently results in bouts of irrationality. He also has an irrational fear of octopi.
