Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Kanichi Kurita's third performance as Lupin after taking over from Yasuo Yamada, who voiced the character for 26 years until his death in 1995.
The TV special format was dying by 2007; this was among the last of the annual Lupin television movies before the franchise pivoted to theatrical releases and streaming series.
