Lupin III - Jigen Daisuke - 1st TV Series - LUPIN STATION TOKYO Ver. (Dive)Jigen Daisuke · Dive

Dive presents Jigen Daisuke from Lupin III in their 1st TV Series LUPIN STATION TOKYO Ver. figure. This collectible captures the iconic sharpshooter in a style inspired by his appearance in the first television anime adaptation of the beloved franchise. Jigen is Lupin III's most loyal and reliable partner, a master marksman whose design was heavily inspired by James Coburn's character Britt in The Magnificent Seven. Creator Monkey Punch revealed that Jigen's name is a playful corruption of "jigen daisuki," meaning "I love dimensions" in Japanese. Originally introduced in the manga as a hitman hired by police to eliminate Lupin, Jigen eventually became his closest ally and lifelong friend. Despite his frustration with Lupin's womanizing and lack of discipline during heists, Jigen remains steadfastly devoted to their partnership. Voice actor Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who dubbed many of Coburn's performances into Japanese, was specifically chosen to voice Jigen in the anime adaptations. The LUPIN STATION TOKYO Ver. from Dive offers fans a distinctive interpretation of this classic character, celebrating Jigen's enduring role in the Lupin III legacy.
