7 | Yamada left the faculty of literature of Waseda University and performed in many stage, radio, and television productions. He provided the Japanese dubbed voice for Creator/ClintEastwood, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Creator/GrahamChapman, but by far his most well-known role is that of the titular character of the ''Franchise/LupinIII'' series, which he played from 1971's [[Anime/LupinIIIPart1 "Green Jacket"]] until 1994's ''[[Anime/LupinIIIDragonOfDoom Dragon of Doom]]''. |

9 | In March 1995, Yamada suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 62. This was only a month before the fourth theatrical film, ''Anime/FarewellToNostradamus'', would have its voices recorded – making it the first Lupin film (and only the third Lupin animation of any kind) without him. At the end of the credits of the film, there is a tribute: "To Yasuo Yamada, Eternal Lupin the Third: Thank you!". |

11 | Since his death, comedian Kan'ichi Kurita has taken over the role of Lupin the Third – Kurita had won a Lupin impression contest a few years earlier, at which Yamada had been one of the judges. It turned out that Yamada had explicitly requested in his will that Kurita be the one to [[TheOtherDarrin Darrin]] him should he die. |
