Directly inspired the figure of the gunman of “The magnificent seven” impersonated from James Coburn, Jigen is the characteristic American years thirty. Lupin’s friend and confidant, it is a type taciturn and tenebrous , always very serious and closed. He represents the conscience of Lupin: his name means dimension in fact. Able with arms, maybe the best, Jigen originates from Chicago also if for escaping to his gang of affiliation he must has abandoned his country, change name and refuged in Japan. Jigen is easily recognizable: black suit and uncultivated beard, inseparable black hat lowered on the eyes up to hide them, he is a only thing with his pistol.
His hat to reflect his personality and to render him a type unique: he without it is impotent, like demonstrate in the episode #152 “Jigen, hats and guns” (2nd TV series) in which Mynnesota Faz, best player of billiards to the world, blazes all the hats of Jigen and challenge it to duel. The infallibility of Jigen depends that when he uses the pistol him contemplate according to the brim of his hat which has built second distinctive measures (measure 58, the length of the brim is 8 centimeters, the thickness is of 1.5 millimetres) and made entirely with the skin of a calf of four years.
Anther brand of the his cool originality is the cigarette always in mouth, strictly folded up: it is not difficulty feel the expression, among twenty-years-old Italians, “alla Jigen” (“like Jigen”) just in reference to a person that smokes a curved cigarette. Jigen doesn’t trust of the women and he is often in disagreement with the feelings that Lupin proves in the comparisons of Fujiko.
