Comment from Yukiyo Fujii (Rebecca)
I never imagined that I would be able to play a role in "Lupin the Third," which I have watched since I was a child. When I heard the voices of the "Lupin Family" during the first recording session, I was very moved, and at the same time, I still feel strange that I was there. As the recording sessions went on, I realized how happy I was to be there and how important it was to be able to play a new character. With the help of my seniors, the staff, and many others, I did my best! Please look forward to the new series of "Lupin the Third"! I look forward to working with you!

Comment from Yu Jouzono (Producer)
Rebecca is a new character who brings chemistry to the Lupin family. We believe that the fact that she is an immature girl will make her relatable. The presence of Fujiko Mine, the red-hot girl, is unshakable, but will Fujiko's emotions be swayed by Rebecca's presence? Please look forward to the development of two women who have it all, money and good looks, and who are sucked in by Lupin. We hired Ms. Fujii because we thought she could play Rebecca's young and wild character in a comical way. She is as beautiful as Rebecca herself, but she also has a natural and mischievous side that adds to the performance.
