Daisuke Jigen

Jigen is cool-headed, cynical, practical, and intensely loyal. He frequently warns Lupin when a scheme is becoming unnecessarily complicated, especially when Fujiko is involved, but usually remains beside him once the operation begins.

He distrusts romantic entanglements and is considerably less susceptible to charm than Lupin. His complaints about Fujiko are grounded in experience: he expects her to betray the group whenever doing so serves her interests.

Despite his hardened criminal persona, Jigen possesses a strong personal code. He respects skilled opponents, values loyalty, and is willing to place himself in danger for partners and innocent people.

Jigen is among the world's most accomplished fictional gunmen within the Lupin setting. He is famous for an extraordinarily fast draw and can hit small or moving targets under extreme pressure.

His preferred weapon is the Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat Magnum, but his expertise extends to rifles, machine guns, sniper weapons, explosives, and numerous other firearms. He can accurately evaluate weapons and trajectories with the experience of a lifelong professional.

Jigen's hat is part of his iconic shooting posture, though portrayals differ on how literally it contributes to his aim. Beyond shooting, he is an experienced driver, fighter, infiltrator, and criminal operative.

Jigen accompanies Lupin during the crossover incidents that bring the Lupin III cast into Conan's world. While Lupin handles deception and elaborate schemes, Jigen provides dependable armed support.

His presence changes the nature of confrontations because he is comfortable operating against heavily armed opponents who fall outside the type of criminals Conan usually confronts directly.

Jigen also functions as one of the more grounded members of Lupin's group, frequently recognizing dangers that Lupin is willing to ignore for the sake of a challenge.

Arsène Lupin III is Jigen's closest partner. Although Jigen frequently criticizes Arsène Lupin III's recklessness, he remains extraordinarily loyal to him.

Goemon Ishikawa XIII is Jigen's fellow member of Lupin's core team. Their contrasting firearms and swordsmanship give the group complementary combat specialists.

Fujiko Mine is someone Jigen distrusts because of her habit of manipulating Lupin and changing sides when profitable.

Koichi Zenigata pursues Jigen as one of Lupin's principal accomplices.

Conan Edogawa encounters Jigen during the crossover stories and quickly becomes involved in the same conspiracies as Lupin's gang.
