On the 50th anniversary of the "Lupin the Third" anime series, it was announced that Daisuke Dimeji's voice actor would be replaced.
The baton will be passed from Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who has been the only first-generation voice actor to breathe life into Daisuke Dimeji for 50 years since the anime series began in 1971, to Akio Otsuka, who will be joining the Lupin family for the first time.
The two have also released their comments on the project.

Kiyoshi Kobayashi's comment
Lupin has been a life-long job for me. I have put my life on the line.
If I were selfish, I would have liked to work on it until I was 90 years old, but alas.
I wanted to hang on to it somehow, but it was impossible.
As he gets older, he will have more depth to his work. However, there is a gap between his work and the images.

This is a different story, but Akio asked me once.
Why did my father quit Gomon? He said, "My father is Shuo Otsuka, the senior director of Gomon.
My father is Shuo Otsuka. I was at a loss for an answer.
He must have been disappointed.
Some people say to me, "It's hard to listen to you because you've grown old.

No wonder. I am 88 years old. I have made efforts in my own way.
From now on, I don't have to worry about being called that. I am relieved.

I leave the rest to Akio.
Do your best.
However, the dimension is not like those villains.
This is Edo's way of doing things. It may sound strange, but Dimentional is an Edo-kko.
Akio, this is difficult.
The atmosphere is similar to JAZZ.

In closing
I would like to thank all those who have supported me so far. Thank you very much.

Lupin. I'm going to get out of here.

Bye bye.

Akio Otsuka commented.
I was sobered by the thought of Mr. Seishi.
I will do my best not to let go of Mr. Seiji's thoughts,
I will do my best to grasp your thoughts and not let go of them.

When I think back, I first encountered Mr. Kiyoshi's voice when I saw Daimaou Shazahn, and then after I saw Humanoid Monster Bem, I was fascinated by Daisuke Dimentional. I think I was in the fifth grade of elementary school.
I believe that Daimon Daisuke Dimentional, whom Mr. Seiji spent 50 years bringing to life, is now Mr. Seiji himself.
I would hate to hear a voice from Daisuke Dimentional that is not Seiji's. Perhaps more than anyone else. Perhaps more than anyone else.
That is why I have selfishly decided to become the Daisuke Dimentional who can convince even myself of that.
Edo chic, Edokko, JAZZ, I will keep them firmly in my heart.

I will accept your baton!
