On a day like this but 2 years ago, Kazuhiko Katō (Creator of Lupin The Third) passed away.
His legacy will never be forgotten, thank you Monkey Punch for creating my favorite animated franchise.

- Art gifted to Monkey Punch by Hanna-Barbera staff after his visit to their California studio in the late 80s
- Monkey Punch cosplaying his best-known character in an interview in the 90's. He's happy.
- Today the tragic news was revealed, the mangaka, Buichi Terasawa, passed away on September 8 at the age of 68. A pioneer of digital art and a great inspiration for many mangakas of the 80's and 90's. Rest In Peace Buichi Terasawa (1955-2023).
- 3D models of Lupin III and his Walther-P38 made by Monkey Punch on a classic apple Macintosh using Strata Studio Pro.
- At first Monkey Punch was not convinced by the idea of Lupin III becoming an anime, but they convinced him to watch the Pilot Film first. The result fascinated him and he decided to leave it in his hands. How would you feel if your project was chosen to be an animated series?
- Aquaman, Shazam and the complete Justice League illustrated by Monkey Punch These illustrations were done as a campaign for DC in Japan and also became Monkey Punch's last art pieces before he passed away. Thanks for all Master
- I don't know how unpopular this is but, this the perfect "Miyazaki Lupin". Albatross has everything Cagliostro lacked: •Lupin and Fujiko actually looks like Lupin and Fujiko •The characters acts as usual (horny and stupid) •Fujiko doesn't have that blond hair (THANK GOD)
Lupin The Third - Tokyo Movie Shinsha - 1971/1980 (Note: Episode "Wings of Death: Albatross" directed by Hayao Miyazaki) x.com/Dededaio/statu… - Exactly today marks the 50th anniversary of not only the first Lupin III series, but also, the premiere of the first anime directed for adult demographics, Part 1 has blazed great trails for the entire animation industry.
- The Japanese posters for early Jackie Chan movies were illustrated by Monkey Punch Curiously, the titles of these films were changed in the country by "X Monkey": Drunk Monkey, Snake Monkey and Crazy Monkey
