It’s expected that Lupin and friends will go up against Sherlock Holmes in this encounter. Voice actor Masato Obara has been cast in the role, while Akio Otsuka (Batou in the Ghost in The Shell) steps in to voice Daisuke Jigen, replacing 88-year-old Kiyoshi Kobayashi, who has had the role for the last 53 years.
