Fujiko Mine is a professional thief, burglar, and confidence trickster frequently entangled with Lupin III and his associates. Her shadowed past connects her to organized crime, including a partnership with the assassin Killer Poon as the "Golden Couple" within a syndicate specializing in contract killings. This alliance dissolved when Poon failed to eliminate her after she was marked for death, triggering her disappearance and amnesia regarding her life before encountering Lupin. Her fragmented memory and obscure origins remain persistent themes, with certain media hinting at a history involving exploitation or trafficking. Personality-wise, Fujiko wields manipulation and seduction as primary tools for theft. She often collaborates with Lupin's gang yet routinely betrays them near a heist's completion to seize the loot. This duplicity extends to forming alliances with antagonists or law enforcement, like Inspector Zenigata, whom she sometimes aids for immunity or freedom. Despite her betrayals, Lupin remains infatuated and forgiving, viewing her actions as intrinsic to their dynamic. Fujiko rarely reciprocates his feelings openly, though latent concern surfaces in life-threatening situations, such as grieving when presuming him dead. Her relationships with other gang members are tense: Jigen distrusts her intensely, while Goemon offers cautious cooperation based on past romantic ties. Her skills encompass expert marksmanship with a Browning M1910 pistol, martial arts proficiency enabling her to incapacitate larger opponents, fluency in multiple languages, mastery of disguise, and the ability to pilot various vehicles, favoring Kawasaki motorcycles. She strategically employs seduction, engaging in physical relationships to extract information or escape peril. Physically, Fujiko's appearance shifts across media, though her brown eyes remain constant. Her hair color varies between brunette, blonde, and red, with length from medium to waist-long. In some iterations, like *The Woman Called Fujiko Mine*, her hair features light tops with darker ends. Her wardrobe emphasizes fashion-forward attire, often formal gowns or figure-accentuating outfits; she occasionally wears glasses for unclear reasons. Fujiko fears frogs, suffers claustrophobia, and dreads aging, the latter sometimes provoking dismissive behavior toward older individuals. She avoids harming children and displays occasional protectiveness toward them. Her personal interests revolve around luxury: shopping, social events, disco dancing, horseback riding, and dating wealthy men. She consumes champagne, fine wine, martinis, and smokes cigarettes or a kiseru pipe. Continuity discrepancies define her portrayals. Early manga chapters presented "Fujiko Mine" as multiple distinct women—including a doctor, assassin, police officer, or crime boss—before solidifying into a single character with shifting styles. Anime adaptations typically depict her consistently but offer conflicting backstories: some suggest meeting Lupin while partnered with another criminal (Brad), while others explore her amnesia or past within crime syndicates. Installments like *The Woman Called Fujiko Mine* reimagine her first encounters with Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon, emphasizing her role as an independent thief navigating a world of manipulation and survival. She operates within the franchise's flexible continuity, allowing varied interpretations of her origins and motivations without a fixed canon.
