Gorô Naya: Inspector Kouichi Zenigata

Quotes 

• Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : [talking in his sleep]  Lupin, you bastard, at last I caught you...

  [He rolls over and almost falls off his bed, frantically kicking his legs] 

• Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Across the ocean is Japan. Maybe I should give up on Lupin and... No, no! I can't do that!

• Arsène Lupin III : Hey, Old Man Zenigata. Long time no see.

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : [thinking Lupin is a hallucination]  Lupin shows up in front of my face like this... Impossible!

  Arsène Lupin III : [slightly confused]  What's wrong? Have you given up on catching me?

  [as he says this, Zenigata beats his head to make the hallucination go away] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : I'm hallucinating again! This is just Lupin's phantom!

  [He closes his eyes and prays] 

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : Amen! Somen! Namo-Abitabha!

  [He opens his eyes and finds Lupin still standing in front of him] 

  Arsène Lupin III : Peek-a-boo! Bleah!

  [Zenigata screams and turns tail] 

• Doctor : Forget about Lupin completely from this point on!

  Inspector Kouichi Zenigata : That's easy to say, but...

  Doctor : That's exactly why! This is so typical of the Japanese! Your brain is gradually and steadily becoming infected by the phantom of Lupin. Just like our great country of America is being infected by social problems.
