Koichi Zenigata (銭形 幸一 Zenigata Kōichi), commonly referred to as Inspector Zenigata (銭形警部 Zenigata-keibu), is a member of the ICPO Special Police Force and the archnemesis (or archrival) of Lupin III.
Character profile
Though sometimes seen as a bumbling fool, Zenigata is in fact a consummate master detective, able to ferret out exactly where Lupin is and what he might be planning next. Skilled in judo, karate, and often attached a squad of skilled officers, Zenigata joined ICPO (Interpol in the English translations) in order to bring Lupin, the only criminal he's yet to arrest, to justice.
Despite being Lupin's chief antagonist, Zenigata has a begrudging respect for the thief, and is the only man on Earth capable of understanding Lupin's goals and actions. His respect for him even goes so far that he considers himself the only man who has the capability and the authority to arrest Lupin. In some instances where he is left to assume that Lupin is dead, Zenigata loses his purpose in life; in fact, in accordance to the proverb "It's not the having, it's the getting" the perpetual hunt for Lupin is the only thing which gives him a reason to live. On occasion, he and Lupin also end up actually helping each other when they have a common cause.
Even though Lupin often escapes, it is usually due to the fact that Lupin is more resourceful and has his team to back him up, while Zenigata prefers to make his arrests like a charging bull, breaking through any obstacle head-on to continue the chase. His stubborness in trying to take down the master thief has made Zenigata develop an uncannily superhuman endurance, especially whenever he feels Lupin is involved. His chief weapon is a set of handcuffs linked to a long rope, which enables him to collar criminals from a far distance; he also makes occasional use of a jitte and a Colt M1911 .45 pistol.
