Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, as far as I know, Monkey Punch never really gave them ages. Alot of people seem to think he's mid-late 30's, and I thought that was too old..
Well, share your ideas/opinions on their ages.

Lupin: 23~33 (He seems too young in some things which is why I can say 20's, but early thirties would work)
Fujiko: Maybe a year younger then Lupin?
Goemon: Actually, this is a hard one. Nani&Twonk brought up a good point, he acted quite young in the comic, which I didn't really think about since he's hardly in it. In the animations though, he doesn't. So.. Hmm..
Jigen: Alot of people seem to think he should be older. I'd say 26~34 compared to Lupin.
Zenigata: Early~mid 40's. He's still got some youth, and I think any older he'd probably be too close to retirement.

Interesting topic, especially since Lupin and Co. are pretty 'ageless'.
I always tend to think of the gang as a group of people who never act their own age, nor are they forced to show them. Young is the default way to veiw them, though.

Lupin: Oddly enough, I always date Lupin and gang younger in the manga.
They just seem to act younger, but, rounding everything, I would say late 20s/early 30s. The reason being is that Lupin can occasionally be rash, but on the whole he must have been stealing for quite awhile to get as good as he is.

Jigen: I've always though as Jigen being the same age, but very much more reserved. I could put him as being 2 years older, but I think it's his nature to be calmer than ol' monkey man.

Goemon: I always think he's 16 or something in the Manga. He has such a young face! xd
He's magically become Lupin and Jigen's age in the anime. It's one of his secret samurai techniques.

Fujiko: It's really hard to gauge Fujiko. Saying "30s" sounds too old, but she seems too wiley and sneaky to be early 20s. So, probably the middle, though I would say she's very cynical of men to be very young.

Zenigata: Probably the only person I can age past 30. Early 40s seems about right. FUNimation says he's 50, but that seems to be really pushing it. 40 is old enough to be 'Pops', but young enough to chase people while waving arms madly about, at the same time yelling, and have gone over the deep end with an almost scary passion for a goal.

Lupin: Early thirdies. I could see late twenties too, but I guess he does so much, I think of him as older then twenty, even if it's not much.
Jigen: A few years older then Lupin, just 'cause he has more sense.
Goemon: Umm...I dunno...He's the ageless samurai. Second series, he looks like he's between Lupin and Jigen's age.
Fujiko: I imagine her to be the youngest.
Zenigata: He's mid-thirdies. He looks forty, but all those sleepless nights, falls, yelling, and waving about...

The entire Lupin gang is in their late thirties (maybe in their early thirties/late twenties in the first series). Zenigata is in his fifties or thereabouts. I don't think 30-something is old. My husband is in his early thirties, and he still hangs out in the same places and does the same things that 20 year-olds do. I have to stress that Fujiko is definitely not in her 20s, she's an experienced and older woman. In Japan, women in their thirties are not considered as undesirable as they are here in the West.

Put it this way, James Bond is definitely at least in his thirties, and he's a sex magnet.

I've alway seemed to see the ages as a little higher for some reason...if you watch any of the movies, it seems they give Jigen a slightly older look with the sunken in cheeks and all. Nothing against him, I still love him and all...but for some reason I've always seen in many sites that they like to make Zenigata around 50...

but then, that's just what I've seen since I tend to do -a lot- of research. Heh...

PS...I still could be wrong...nothing seems to be a definite thing in this show...

Well, we can still share opinions xp

Have you noticed how Lupin, Goemon, Jigen never seem to age but everyone else one seems to age perfectly fine? Especially the girls. Like Jigen will meet a girl as child and then they meet again and she look the same age as Goemon. But Jigen will look exactly the same.

Well, I don't really like when they try to age them too much.
I suppose I'm mainly talking about the comic and series 2, but looking for general opinions.
