Fujiko Mine is a professional criminal, burglar, and confidence trickster who leverages her allure and cunning to manipulate targets. Designed as a femme fatale influenced by Bond archetypes, her character transitioned from recurring episodic roles into a multifaceted figure with evolving aesthetics and personas across adaptations. Her name originates from Mount Fuji, blending "Fuji" with the suffix "-ko" and "Mine" (meaning "summit") to mirror her enigmatic identity. A frequent collaborator with Lupin III’s gang, Fujiko is notorious for her double-crosses to secure treasures independently. Lupin’s unwavering infatuation sustains their dynamic, echoing the adversarial yet magnetic rapport of D'Artagnan and Milady de Winter. Her expertise spans precision marksmanship with a Browning M1910, martial arts, fluency in multiple languages, and mastery of disguises. She adeptly pilots vehicles, favoring Kawasaki motorcycles, and strategically employs seduction as a tool, feigning romantic entanglements to advance her schemes. Her shadowed past includes affiliations with organized crime, notably a partnership with assassin Pun (Killer Poon). Their syndicate disbanded after Pun defied orders to eliminate her, triggering her disappearance and fragmented memories of her earlier life. Certain iterations reference a three-year memory gap predating her encounter with Lupin, though her history remains intentionally nebulous due to the franchise’s nonlinear storytelling. In *Missed by a Dollar*, Fujiko joins a heist targeting a brooch tied to historical monarchs. Deviating from her typical treachery, she aligns steadfastly with the gang after suffering financial losses from the antagonist’s machinations. The narrative underscores her situational loyalty, exemplified by rescuing Goemon mid-combat, while preserving her pragmatic self-interest. Her relationships are defined by shifting alliances. Jigen regards her with suspicion, associating her with inevitable chaos, while Goemon intermittently partners with her outside the group. Zenigata alternates between pursuing her as a fugitive and engaging in uneasy cooperation, their interactions laced with transactional undertones. The spin-off *The Woman Called Fujiko Mine* delves into her origins, portraying her as an amnesiac thief navigating a world of exploitation and deception. The series reframes her ties to Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon, foregrounding her autonomy and moral ambiguity. Subtle narrative cues hint at fluid sexuality through manipulative ploys, though her genuine desires stay deliberately obscured. Fujiko’s visual design shifts across media: hair oscillates between brunette, blonde, or red, and attire mirrors period fashion trends. Early depictions emphasized exaggerated curves, later softened in modern iterations. She sporadically dons glasses, their function—decorative or corrective—left undefined. Notable vulnerabilities include a fear of frogs, aversion to aging, and claustrophobia, weaknesses occasionally weaponized by foes. Despite her mercenary ethos, she draws a line at harming children, exemplified in a manga arc where she safeguards Lupin’s son during a lethal snowstorm.
