* [[DirtyOldMan Mister X]] is one of Lupin's most recurring enemies, both his earliest and one of the vilest. In [[Recap/LupinIIIS1E1 his first appearance]], he spends years building and cultivating a racetrack with the explicit purpose of killing Lupin during the race, attempting to do so through various means such as running him off the road and dropping logs on him. Along the way, Mister X kidnaps Fujiko Mine and sexually tortures her, [[TickleTorture tickling her]] while [[ForcedToWatch forcing her to watch]] as he attempts to kill Lupin. When Lupin succeeds and wins the race, Mister X rigs the trophy to explode, taking the entire racetrack and almost everyone inside with him. [[Anime/LupinIIIIsLupinStillBurning Decades later]], he allies with Kyosuke Mamo to ruin Lupin's life, deciding that if he can't kill the thief, he'll deprive him of everything he holds dear instead; not content with this, he also kidnaps Fujiko again to continue his sexual and emotional torment, never losing his sadistic smile all the while. Perverted to the core and never caring how many people are hurt in his schemes, Mister X set the standard of depravity for the multitudes of villains that came after him.
