==Character history==
 
In the original manga series, Jigen appears in chapter 7, "Magician" (魔術師 Majutsushi), but with no background information provided. In the spin-off anime franchise (the "Red Jacket" series) it is revealed that he was born and grew up in the New York Bronx, where he developed his outstanding sharpshooting skills, but later relocated to Europe and joined the Italian Mafia.
 
  
However, Jigen eventually had an affair with Cicciolina, the wife of his boss. When her husband found out and tried to kill her, she accidentally ended up shooting him with his own revolver. Jigen took the gun - and thus the blame - on himself, evaded his Mafia pursuers and later joined the Chinese triads. Years later, with the aid of [[Fujiko Mine]], Cicciolina arranged a meeting with Jigen and tricked him into killing her; this event sparked Jigen's disinterest in pursuing romantic interest as well as his decision to become a thief instead of a gunman. While he still uses his gun skills to kill men if he has to, he considers killing women and children a personal taboo.
