* Arsène Lupin III: Arsène Lupin III is the grandson of Arsène Lupin. He is the world's most skillful and most wanted thief. Sometimes he just steals whatever he wants, and at other times he prefers to steal from disreputable people. Often in his adventures, he will take it upon himself and his gang to foil other criminals engaged in more serious crimes. He often appears incompetent, but it is mostly a disguise. While he has been arrested and thrown in jail on a number of occasions he has always managed to break out. He also has a fondness for fancy gadgets from time to time. His infatuation with Fujiko Mine is perhaps his biggest weakness, as it often lands him in unsavory situations.
* Daisuke Jigen: Daisuke Jigen is Lupin's marksman. He can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and his shooting has amazing accuracy. He prefers to conceal his eyes using his hat, as it gives him a more enigmatic appearance. He is also proficient in the use of many different firearms, such as machine guns, sniper rifles, and even a PTRS anti-tank rifle. His accuracy borders on the superhuman, never missing a key shot in the entirety of the series. In the Playstation 2 videogame, he assembles his pistol from composite parts during cleaning to firing a shot with 100% accuracy through a door before an enemy can finish turning the doorknob.
* Goemon Ishikawa XIII: Goemon Ishikawa XIII is the thirteenth generation of renegade samurai, beginning with the real-life historical figure Ishikawa Goemon. He has a sword called Zantetsuken, meaning "iron-cutting sword", which can cut through anything. However, Zantetsuken is usually used to cut inanimate objects, which Goemon considers unworthy of his blade. Objects cut by Zantetsuken will fall apart a couple of seconds after he sweeps through them with his blade. He is usually quiet and participates in Lupin's exploits less frequently than Jigen.
* Fujiko Mine: Fujiko Mine is Lupin's love (or lust) interest. Despite her appearances, Fujiko is an extremely intelligent and crafty person and will use her feminine charms to get what she wants from any man. She is also an expert when it comes to firearms and even rivals Lupin when it comes to her burgarly and disguise skills. She will also routinely make deals with Zenigata or Lupin's current enemy in an attempt to gain her freedom or to hopefully gain a piece of the loot he is after. While Lupin normally is able to outsmart Fujiko, she is able to make off with some or all of his loot on occasion.
* Inspector Zenigata: Inspector Zenigata, full name Koichi Zenigata has made it his mission in life to arrest Lupin. Zenigata is based on a famous Japanese crime fighting character named Zenigata Heiji, best known for throwing coins as a weapon. Zenigata's handcuff throwing technique is his own take on the character's choice of weapon. He would love to arrest the other members of Lupin's gang, but Zenigata is really after the mastermind himself. Lupin and Zenigata appear to be the worst of enemies, but they are, in a manner of speaking, friends; something Lupin shows openly (often by greeting Zenigata with mock affection), but it is an idea Zenigata is extremely reluctant to entertain. Similarly, he is often awed by Lupin's genius, but refuses to show it. While usually portrayed as a bumbling fool in most of the anime, Zenigata in the manga is a very clever and crafty adversary to Lupin.
