Despite dealing against Inspector Zenigata, who has dedicated his life to capturing Lupin, they continue to swiftly take their targeted treasures. The series will be based in France, focusing on Lupin's roots and origin, something that has been kept a mystery for 50 years…until now!
Lupin the 3rd is one of the most well-known animated TV series in Japanese history. It began as a Japanese Manga series written and illustrated by Monkey Punch in 1967.

"The master gentleman thief is back to France, the origins of his grandfather's home turf. He'll carry his Walther P38 and drive cool classic cars but use current technology at his disposal for a modern twist. It's something the world has been waiting for, including myself!" said Masami Tokunaga, Vice President of TMS USA.
