Just a little, huh?
Yes, Lupin the 3rd, that fun loving, light-fingered, master of disguise

, who, together with his equally unforgettable cohorts: Jigen, the peerless sharpshooter who appears to be able to see through his hat

, and Goemon, the seemingly stoic, emotionless samurai who cries at Kabuki and breaks hearts as easily as he slices through “unworthy” objects with his Zantetsuken

; has kept his title for 40 years in manga (30 in various anime incarnations) as the World’s Most Wanted Thief

. All the while avoiding capture by the ever dogged Inspector Zenigata

and often falling for the trickery of his brilliant, beautiful, but ever so greedy, Fujiko-chan

!
And he still consistently ranks in best/favorite manga/anime polls!
Oh, great….now I have his theme music stuck in my head!!!
Once again, back to you, JWR
