Kikyo, a pivotal figure in her Lupin III television special, shares a history as Goemon Ishikawa XIII's childhood friend, with their bond forming in youth. Their relationship evolves into a romance during the special's events. She actively assists Goemon in retrieving a small golden dragon statue, an artifact of significant value due to its connection to the legendary alloy used to forge Goemon's sword, Zantetsuken, lost aboard the RMS Titanic. Initially dedicated, Kikyo's allegiance shifts drastically when she stages her own death. This deception enables her to betray Goemon, seize the dragon statue, and align herself with the primary antagonist, crime lord Chin Chin Chao. Kikyo actively aids Chin Chin Chao in deciphering the artifact's secrets, enabling them to replicate the unique alloy and construct an advanced stealth fighter aircraft designed to be impervious to conventional weaponry. She participates directly in the villain's plans. During a critical confrontation, Goemon uses his Zantetsuken to slice the stealth fighter multiple times at the same precise point. This damage allows Lupin III to destroy the aircraft by guiding a missile into it. Kikyo perishes in the explosion above the location where the Titanic sank, causing her body to descend into the ocean depths, mirroring the fate of her grandfather, who originally stole the dragon figurine decades earlier. Kikyo utilizes manipulation tactics, notably attempting to seduce Goemon while infiltrating Chin Chin Chao's villa and displaying visible disappointment at his resistance. This interaction proves a calculated maneuver to distract him and steal a crucial scroll related to the dragon statue's secrets. Her actions, particularly her betrayal of Goemon and her grandfather's legacy for personal gain and power, culminate in a Karmic Death. Her name, Kikyō (桔梗), translates to "Chinese bellflower." Information regarding her appearance or role in other Lupin III media is not present.
