Helming the seventh mainline Lupin TV anime series as director is Eiji Suganuma (Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King), with series composer Takahiro Okura (Case Closed: The Fist of Blue Sapphire anime film) on the scripts, and Lupin character designer Hirotaka Marufuji returning from the Lupin the 3rd – Goodbye Partner special. Veteran Lupin composer Yuji Ohno continues to do the music on the franchise, returning for PART 6. TMS Entertainment is once again handling the animation production.
