Hello everyone! Welcome to LupintheThird.com, an unofficial page where we celebrate the many adventures of Lupin the Third, a long-running multimedia franchise born over 40 years ago in August of 1967.
This site is still in a "rebuilding" state, so if you're in a hurry to have your burning Lupin question answered,
If you miss the old site, you can still see much of its content through its Web Archive. You might also want to visit Discotek Media's website, as they release many classic Lupin titles in the States.
