Based on a classic manga by cult artist Monkey Punch, the action-comedy anime series LUPIN THE 3RD follows the exploits of a master thief who makes a habit of stealing from the rich and keeping the spoils for himself. A suave ladies' man given to feats of athletic daring, Lupin is aided in his heists by expert gunman Jigen, samurai swordsman Goemon, femme fatale Fujiko, and a gadget-filled belt that gets him out of more than a few scrapes with his archenemy, Interpol Inspector Zenigata. In the feature-film installment ISLAND OF ASSASSINS, Lupin finds himself at the mercy of a gang of mercenaries who will do anything to protect their stash of gold--including tattooing the thief with a deadly poison that prevents him escaping his island prison.
