	Iioka has been involved with the ''[[wikipedia:Lupin the Third\|Lupin the Third]]'' {{jp\|ルパン三世}} series for over 35 years since its first TV broadcast in 1971. Yet after episode 19 ~~of ''Lupin III'' named~~ ''Elusive Mist'' {{jp\|霧のエリューシヴ}}, he ceased his job in the anime, instead, he began editing the draft of its manga. He has remarked that "Lupin is not just about hard action, and ~~Lupin~~ is not just about works with difficult themes. There is plenty of laughter, it's silly and humorous, social satire ~~and humour~~. There is a bit of lyricism, and the action is strong. I think we need to make more Lupins like that"<ref name="biography"/>.
