Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2021, Lupin III fans!

As no doubt many of you are happy to see the back of 2020, it's time to jump right into the new year - and with some good news to kick things off!

Official Japanese social media accounts for the Lupin III series have updated today with new branding to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original 1971 animated TV series. In their initial post for 2021, the account re-confirms that something new is on the way, and that fans should keep an eye out for more details.

If you're living in Japan, you can also pick up a special article detailing the history of Lupin III in Ashai newspapers today, 1/1/21.

The article contains an exclusive interview with Kanichi Kurita, voice of Lupin III, along with facts regarding the series origins, The Castle of Cagliostro, and more.

What a pleasant way to ring in the New Year!

We have a feeling this will be a big one for our favourite band of thieves, so be sure to stay tuned to Lupin Central for all the details as they happen!
