Notes
- Two people from the anime appeared in the series. Kanichi Kurita who is the voice of Lupin III is the narrator while Koichi Yamadera who is the voice of Zenigata since 2011 plays Toshisaburo Fuchigami.
- Some sources translate Hitoshi Kinosaki as Hitoshi Jogasaki however the wiki uses the official English romanisation that appears on the NTV website code.
