Monkey Punch, creator of megahit Japan comic Lupin III, dies

His office, MP Pictures, said Wednesday that Monkey Punch, whose real name is Kazuhiko Kato, died of pneumonia on April 11.

I've never watched the whole series but enjoyed the Cagliostro movie. The series was pretty influential to a lot of well known shows like Cowboy Bebop. Hope he went with his family by his side.
