  Maurice Leblanc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maurice Leblanc Maurice-marie-émile Leblanc (11 December 1864 - 6 November 1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes.
Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals when the first Arsène Lupin story appeared in one of these publications in 1905.
However, Allen dies in 1899, and by 1907 Leblanc had graduated to writing full-length Lupin novels, and the reviews and sales were so good that Leblanc effectively dedicated the rest of his career to working on the Lupin stories.

Leblanc then studied law but abandoned his studies to become a pulp crime writer and police reporter for French periodicals.
Although Leblanc had long career as a writer for periodicals, it was not until the creation of Arsène Lupin, in his forties, that he gained international fame, equalled only by that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
Leblanc himself became a consultant on the staff of the Paris Prefect of Police, and this shift reflected in his stories about Lupine.

When the manga debuted, Japan did not enforce trade copyrights; Monkey Punch never informed Maurice Leblanc's estate that he planned to use the "Arsène Lupin" name in his stories.
Leblanc's estate later went on to object to this plagiarism; because of this, United States companies translating some of the Lupin III movies had to use a different name such as "The Wolf" (a rough French translation of "Lupin") or as "Rupan" (a romanization of the Japanese spelling of "Lupin").
Leblanc's copyright has since expired, and only old licenses are required to use an alternate name.

 Alexander Texeira de Mattos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Louis Texeira de Mattos ("Texeira" often spelled "Teixeira") (1865 – 1921) was a literary critic and publisher, who gained his greatest level of fame as a translator.
He was responsible for many extremely perceptive and well-executed English translations of major French- and Dutch-language literary works, including works by Emile Zola, Maurice Maeterlinck, Alexis de Tocqueville, Jean Henri Fabre, Maurice Leblanc, Gaston Leroux and Louis Couperus.
The high quality and readability of his work was such that many of his translations are still in print today; although some of these are over a century old, they have yet to be superseded by a more modern version.

Arsène Lupin, the "Gentleman Burglar" of France, appeared from the pen of Maurice Leblanc (1864–1941) in 1905.
In the words of a prominent critic, Leblanc brought to the character "the skill of Sherlock Holmes, the resourcefulness of Raffles, the refinement of a casuist, the epigrammatic nimbleness of La Rouchefoucauld and the gallantry of Du Guesclin."
