Daisuke Jigen (次元 大介, Jigen Daisuke?) is a fictional character created by Monkey Punch for his manga series Lupin III, which debuted in Weekly Manga Action on August 10, 1967.
Jigen is master thief Arsène Lupin III's right-hand man and an expert marksman. He can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and has an accuracy that borders on superhuman; he can shoot skeet with a handgun, explode a missile before it hits by targeting the warhead, and deflect another bullet by shooting it in mid-flight. He prefers to conceal his eyes using his hat; when one or both of his eyes are seen, it is occasionally used to demonstrate surprise. In the second anime series, it is said that he uses a notch on the hat to aim. He is proficient in many different firearms, such as revolvers, machine guns, sniper rifles, and even a PTRS Anti-Tank Rifle.
His preferred weapon, however, is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat revolver. He also feels quite naked without a gun: during an enemy attack in 1987's The Plot of the Fuma Clan, Jigen was unarmed (during a wedding) yet instinctively reached back, grabbed at nothing, humorously aimed his empty hand and moved his trigger finger before realizing what he was doing.
