Maurice Leblanc's 'GentlemanThief' who is part crime-solving (and crime-committing) [[GreatDetective mastermind]], part [[LoveableRogue prince of romance]] and the TropeCodifier of PhantomThief, first appearing in novels and short stories, starting in 1905. The Lupin stories were meant as a reversal of the [[Literature/SherlockHolmes detective]] [[Creator/AgathaChristie stories]] that were massively popular at the time -- Lupin is instead the criminal. Stories tend to vary from following various detectives in their attempts to stop Lupin or figure out what he did, to Lupin facing other villains. Other stories even have Lupin looking for lost treasures. Part of the books' success is due to Lupin's status as a MasterOfDisguise: When opening a book, one is never sure ''who'' is Lupin in this story. Is he the [[RedHerring victim's guest]]? The [[TheMole Detective's assistant]]? [[NarratorAllAlong The narrator himself]]? Lupin's status as a criminal is balanced by his trademark gentlemanly behavior, allowing him to come off as heroic rather than a villain, though his actions do often earn him a fair share of WhatTheHellHero.

Lupin is the TropeNamer and TropeCodifier for the GentlemanThief, a significant influence on those who followed in his footsteps. For the various adaptations and derivative works inspired by Lupin, see '''[[DerivativeWorks/ArseneLupin here]]'''.

The deleted entries about characters referring to Lupin are on the Referenced By page


He has had his own films/series, and is the principal character of ''WesternAnimation/NightHood'', a Canadian-French animated collaboration that aired on YTV in the 1990s, a 1970s French live-action show, a Filipino TV series (more inspired by [[Franchise/LupinIII his grandson]] but still using the original Lupin). Lupin is the TropeNamer and TropeCodifier for the GentlemanThief, a significant influence on those who followed in his footsteps.

Notable amongst them are:
* ''Literature/{{Fantomas}}'', who starred in a series of novels and was an evil version of Lupin. Later it was adapted into a Mexican comic book and went through many layers of adaptation to become more and more like the original version of Lupin. Years of AdaptationDisplacement later, he is still remembered in some regions as more like the likable Lupin than his original, more psychopathic version.
* ''The Fiend/Man of Twenty Faces'', who was the WorthyOpponent of Edogawa Rampo's GreatDetective Akechi Kogoro. His M.O. and grudging respect for his opponent is very similar to Lupin's relationship with Literature/SherlockHolmes (or Herlock Sholmes as he was known in the stories).
* ''[[Franchise/LupinIII Arsène Lupin III]]'', his apocryphal half-Japanese grandson [[AncestralName who shares his name]]. Even though there are many parallels and {{Shout Out}}s, this Lupin is his own character. Perhaps the most notable difference is that he is considerably less subtle than his grandfather, especially when dealing with the ladies. He is, however, every bit as good a thief.
* Kaitou Kid from ''Manga/MagicKaito'' and ''Manga/CaseClosed''.
* Riko Mine from ''Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo'' is supposed to be his great-granddaughter.
* Kamen Rider Lupin, a thief themed Franchise/KamenRider from some of ''Series/KamenRiderDrive''[='s=] side stories.
* André Lupin / Lupin De Dios / Xedric Apacer of the Filipino TV drama ''Series/Lupin2007''
* Arsene, the PlayerCharacter's first Persona in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}''.
* Jean le Flambeur from ''Literature/TheQuantumThief'', a transhuman GentlemanThief who consciously modeled himself after Arsène Lupin, and continuously makes references to Leblanc's stories.
* The Series/{{Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger|VsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger}}, a thieving Franchise/SuperSentai team who compete with a rival police team to keep a set of treasures assembled by the original Lupin out of the wrong hands.
* Assane Diop of the 2021 French drama ''Series/Lupin2021'', who was inspired by the Lupin stories and incorporated them into his lifestyle to resolve the mystery of his father's death.
* Arsene Gundam X from ''Anime/SDGundamWorldHeroes'', who's based off of both Arsene Lupin and the [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX GX-9900 Gundam X]].
