Each animated theatrical feature has its own plot. The unifying theme between the films centers on the adventures of the international thief Arsène Lupin III. He is joined by Daisuke Jigen, his closest ally; Fujiko Mine, the "femme fatale" and Lupin's love interest who works against Lupin more often than with him; and Goemon Ishikawa XIII, a master swordsman and the descendant of Ishikawa Goemon, the legendary Japanese bandit. Lupin is often chased by Inspector Koichi Zenigata of the ICPO, the descendent of Zenigata Heiji. A rather cynical detective, Zenigata has made it his life's mission to chase Lupin across the globe in hopes of arresting him.
