  Lupin III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lupin III or Lupin the 3rd (ルパン三世, Lupin the 3rd, not Lupin 3) is an anime and manga series originally created by manga artist Kazuhiko Katō (加藤一彦) under the pen name Monkey Punch (モンキーパンチ) in 1967 as a part of Weekly Manga Action.
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.
Lupin and his cohorts are known to be able to drive and utilize any vehicle; cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and pretty much any other mode of transport.

The descendent of Maurice LeBlanc's fictional, gentleman thief, Arséne Lupin, Lupin III subscribes to a variation of Robin Hood theme: He steals from the wealthy and corrupt to give to himself.
Lupin's methods are varied, from simple cons to murder in the line of duty, and he is aided and abetted by characters already familiar to anime audiences: Jigen, his loyal aide-de-camp, and the beautiful, but devious, Fujiko, his sometime rival and occasional collaborator.
The wild behaviors and frequently bawdy attitudes represented by the characters of Lupin III are as much part of their time as early James Bond, the rivalry between the Pink Panther and Inspector Clouseau, go-go dancers, Laugh-In and their modern-day counterpart, Austin Powers.

Fans of the original Lupin III comic by Monkey Punch may not appreciate it as much since the characters act a little 'nicer' than the fans may prefer, but Miyazaki's talent lies in weaving a good story together with beautiful animation, and it is clearly evidenced here.

 CJAS Newsletter Archives -- Lupin (article) III
Lupin is about style -- not coherent plot, not deep thoughts, not beautiful characters, although Miyazaki did manage to sneak a few beautiful landscapes and a Nausicaä look-alike into his incarnation of Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro.
Lupin III, the master thief, is the grandson of the original Arsene Lupin, the "Gentleman Thief." Possessing great dexterity, good fighting skills, and lots of luck (yes, it's one of his skills), Lupin seems almost superhuman in his criminal exploits.
Ishikawa Goemon, the kensai (literally "sword-saint") and Lupin's ally, is quite possibly the descendant of the famous real-life ninja of the same name.

 Blogcritics.org: DVD Review: Lupin III: Strange Psychokinetic Strategy
What follows is a lot of great pratfalls, bonks on the head, popcorn spit, jokes bashing Lupin III's sexual orientation (many of which pose Lupin III as the "feminine" type, with police officers acting as his "masculine" counterpart), and very little psychokinesis.
In fact, the title Lupin III: Strange Psychokinetic Strategy barely seems to make any sense - just the source of a few jokes where Lupin III brags about his "psychokinetic" powers (which primarily seem to be used for opening safes and doors...and involve his hands) to Fujiko - until the third act.
But Lupin III, breaking all rules of honor in physical combat, parries their kicks and punches with tickling, kisses, and gropes.
