In "Lupin the Third" Part 6 (to be broadcast in October 2021), the role of Daisuke Dimeji will be handed over to Akio Otsuka. He expressed his feelings about playing the role of Daimon until now and said, "Lupin, it's time for me to go. I'm about to get out of here. Good-bye." He ended his speech in the same tone as Dogen.
We pray for the repose of his soul.
