Fujiko Mine
Lupin III universe character
Fujiko Mine (Japanese: 峰 不二子, Hepburn: Mine Fujiko) is a fictional character created by Monkey Punch for his manga series Lupin III, which debuted in Weekly Manga Action on August 10, 1967. She is a professional criminal and spy who regularly uses her attractiveness to fool her targets. Unlike the rest of the Lupin III cast, Fujiko's physical appearance changes for most installments in the franchise. She is the star of the fourth Lupin III anime television series, 2012's The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, making it the first to not star Lupin III as the protagonist.
Throughout the manga and anime, Fujiko serves as Lupin's on-and-off love interest and rival, with the former exploiting the latter's weakness for women for personal gain. Despite being considered untrustworthy amongst his associates, Lupin nevertheless adores Fujiko and will do anything to impress her. Though later installments tend depict her as being loyal to the gang, her tendency to double cross when necessary remains largely intact.
