◆About Lupin III
Based on the original work by the popular manga artist Monkey Punch, the Lupin III series boasts numerous fans globally, with manga and TV animes at the forefront. Over the years, several masterpieces have been created through collaborations with other media. In December 2023, it was adapted as a brand-new kabuki production at the Shinbashi Enbujo Theatre (Tokyo), and the story was newly written for this performance.

Kabuki On Demand has so far distributed 9 classic kabuki plays with English subtitles or secondary audio in English, for overseas residents and inbound visitors to enjoy the traditional Japanese culture of kabuki more than ever.
And now, for the first time on Kabuki On Demand, the brand-new kabuki production Lupin III will be distributed live with English subtitles worldwide. Both live stream and archived VOD will be distributed in Japan, United States, France and Italy, as well as other countries and regions around the world.

＜Story＞
This original story is set in the Azuchi-Momoyama period (the last third of the 16th century). The great infamous thief Lupin III and his partner Daisuke Jigen are engaged in a fierce struggle for the “Gold Seal of Himiko”, a national treasure. Two treasured swords are needed to break the seal, and it is said that the one who obtains both the swords and the seal gains the power to rule the world.
However, of the two, one of the swords is in the hands of another great thief, Goemon Ishikawa. He too, was searching for the gold seal. On top of that, Hisayoshi Mashiba, the current ruler of Japan, is also in pursuit of the treasure in question.
Meanwhile, Lupin's archnemesis Inspector Zenigata is in pursuit of Lupin, Goemon and the others…
