Lupin the Third Part I (ルパン三世, Rupan Sansei) is the first TV anime adaptation of Monkey Punch's manga series of the same name. Produced by Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation and Tokyo Movie, with character designs by Yasuo Ōtsuka, it was directed originally by Masaaki Ōsumi and later by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata under the name 'A Productions'. It aired on Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation in two seasons from October 24, 1971 to March 26, 1972, the first 11 episodes being of the first season and the latter 12 of the second. The series centers on the adventures of Arsène Lupin III, the grandson of Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief of Maurice Leblanc's series of novels. He is joined by Daisuke Jigen, Lupin's 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 a descendant of Ishikawa Goemon, the legendary Japanese bandit. Lupin is often chased by Inspector Zenigata of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police,[1] a descendant 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.
When Miyazaki and Takahata took over directing duties from Ōsumi, they changed the tone of the series, adding more humor and making Lupin more family friendly, setting the blueprint for all subsequent Lupin animations (with the exception of The Mystery of Mamo), until the 2012 TV series. A pilot film, also directed by Ōsumi, was made in 1969 prior to this anime,[2][3] footage from the pilot is used in the opening sequences. Several of the early episodes take their plotlines from chapters of the original manga, namely episodes 2 and 4-6. The show has three opening theme songs and one ending song. Charlie Kosei sings the first two openings, 'Lupin III Theme Song' (ルパン三世主題歌, Rupan Sansei Sono) (originally known as 'Lupin the Third's Song' (ルパン・ザ・サードの歌, Rupan za Sādo no Uta)) (eps. 1-3, 9) and 'Afro Lupin '68' (eps. 4-8, 10-15), and the ending, 'Lupin III Theme Song II' (ルパン三世主題歌II, Rupan Sansei Sono 2), while the last opening is 'Lupin III Theme Song 3' (ルパン三世 主題歌3, Rupan Sansei Sono 3) (eps. 16-23) by Yoshiro Hiroishi.
