Lupin (ルパン, Rupan) was a phantom thief (怪盗, kaitÅ) in the human world. In the anime, he is shown to have stolen a large bag of pure souls. He was to be defeated by Death the Kid, but due to Patty being a little off in a pose, he managed to escape while Kid berated her, fleeing after some difficulty into the sewer. His title, stated by Kid is 'Phantom Thief' (kaito) or 'Master Thief' in the English dub.
