Kikyō (桔梗) is a major character in Lupin III: Dragon of Doom.
Profile[]
Kikyō was Goemon's childhood friend. When she returned to aid Goemon, she was all grown up. She eventually became his love interest in the movie and traveled with him to get the small dragon statue, which Lupin found from what's left of the Titanic. Later, Kikyo faked her death so she could turn on Goemon, steal the dragon statue, and side with Chin Chin Chao. Kikyo helped Chao to uncover the secret of the dragon statue, and used its alloy to make an unstoppable stealth fighter. However, Goemon used his sword and skills to slice the fighter three times at the same spot. Then it was destroyed by Lupin, who guided a missile with his plane, and Kikyo fell into the very same spot the Titanic sunk, resting with her grandfather, who stole the dragon figurine in the first place.
