Lupin III (Japanese: ルパン三世) is a direct descendant of the GentlemanThief Literature/ArseneLupin, hero of a series of French novels by Maurice [=LeBlanc=]. Like his famous grandfather, he's a cunning, lady-killing master thief who's never been caught.
He is also the titular character of a LongRunner franchise from UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}. Kazuhiko Katō was offered a three-month Manga contract, with the goal of telling stories to an adult male audience, by the editor of Playboy School. The "catch" was that Katō would use the pen name of Monkey Punch. The series, Manga/LupinIII, made its debut on August 10, 1967 in the first issue of the magazine Weekly Manga Action. It went on to become an extremely popular and successful media franchise, spawning pretty much every medium we cover on here on TVTropes. [[note:For the media we cover that Lupin doesn't yet exist in? Just wait; he'll be there soon!]]
