Kato Kazuhiko

was born in Hamaka Town, Hokkaido in 1937. After graduating from high school, he went to Tokyo and published the work "Ginza Tornado", which made him stand out in the comics industry.

But the manga world of that era was being dominated by the god of the manga world, Osamu Tezuka, so Kato Kazuhiko remained unknown.

"Lupine the Third" became a blockbuster

Until 1967 , Kato Kazuhiko began serialization of the "Lupine the Third" comic series in "Weekly Comic Action", in which the male protagonist Lupine the Third, an annoying phantom thief, traveled around the world, engaged in theft business, and was surrounded by beautiful women. This carefree life attracted countless readers .

The walking charmer and the number one queen in Japanese comics - Fujiko Mine

Fujiko Mine is the number one in the world! No one can resist Fujiko's charm!

The term " royal sister" originated from Japanese . It was originally a term for elder sister. Since Fujiko Mine appeared, this word has become a female exclusive word with mature, steady, strong character and other temperaments!

Before Fujiko Mine appeared, most of the female characters in Japanese comics were relatively gentle girls, wives and the like. The appearance of Fujiko broke this situation.

Fujiko Mine in "Lupine the Third" - The extremely sexy bad girl, with a voluptuous figure and a body full of mysteries, The extremely charming Fujiko fascinated Lupine the Third.

She sometimes acts together with Lupine, and the two work together tacitly. However, whenever she and Lupine find treasure, she will use her very charming beauty to defraud of all the loot. Lupine was deceived many times by Fujiko , but Lupine will still pay everything for it .

In the comics, Fujiko Mine is no longer a vase-like character. She breaks the tradition that female characters in comics are vassals of male characters.

The relationship between Fujiko Mine and Lupine

In the comics, both of them said that they like each other . There are likes between the two, mutual appreciation , ambiguity between the opposite sex, etc. are intertwined.

Fujiko Mine loves Lupine, but Fujiko knows how to sell Lupine to without hesitation in order to gain the trust of the enemy. When the two of them obtain treasure, Fujiko will also steal all the loot, leaving nothing for Lupine.

It should be said that Fujiko Mine does not love Lupine, but when Lupine fell into death , she would show a particularly sad expression , as if Lupine's death would give her a heavy blow.

In terms of relationships, Fujiko Mine is more like a scumbag , while Lupine is like a fish in Fujiko's fish pond, being played around by her.

But I think: Fujiko Mine is the of Airubang, but not much. Compared to money, Fujiko still prefers money !

Fujiko Mine’s influence in the comics industry

After Fujiko Mine appeared, she had a great influence on many female characters in later comics.

Kudo Shinichi 's mother in "Detective Conan": Kudo Yukiko (formerly known as Fujimine Yukiko), the name is from Fujiko Mine and her dubbing seiyuu Nikaido Yukiko , which is a combination of the word "Fine" and "Yukiko". And the character's hairstyle is also completely copied from the 71 version of Fujiko Mine's .
