How did this young boy become notorious gentleman thief “Lupin III”?

Since the initial serialization of Monkey Punch’s globally renowned “LUPIN THE 3rd” manga in 1967, Lupin III has taken the world by storm and has appeared in various media. However, despite his longstanding status and notoriety as the world’s greatest thief, there was once a time when even Lupin III, was young and inexperienced.

Loosely based on Young Lupin III from the original manga, LUPIN ZERO will tell a nostalgic, yet brand new original story, finally lifting the veil cast upon Lupin III’s humble beginnings. Set during the era in which the original series was first published, the anime depicts Young Lupin III running around the streets of 1960’s Japan during the country’s economic boom.

A young boy climbs the staircase to villainhood. What was he thinking and what steps did he take?
This is the untold origin story of the world’s greatest thief.

Hinano Hoshikita is an ordinary 17-year old who's a little shy, and who's always loved her grandmother's planetarium.

After hearing that her beloved grandmother's planetarium is going to close, Hinano wonders if there's anything she can do to help.

Then one night, she meets a woman dancing beautifully on a pole beneath a starry sky. The woman seems to rise up so high that it's almost like she could touch the stars, and Hinano is stunned by her beauty and grace. Hinano thinks to herself that if she could put on a show like this in the planetarium, it would attract lots of customers.

With the encouragement of her childhood friend Lilia, she tracks down the woman to her pole dancing school in front of the station. But when they go inside, the room is empty except for the instructor, Azumi. She's the same woman Hinano saw before, but now she looks glum and depressed.

"What? You want to learn how to do pole dancing? Sorry, I've already decided to close the school."

Hinano and Lilia are sad to lose the hope they'd finally found.

But when she sees the look on their faces, Azumi says, "If you can find me four students, that'll be enough to pay the rent. Do that, and I'll teach you."

Hinano and Lilia start looking for students, and jump into the world of pole dancing!
