In the original manga series, Jigen first appears in chapter 7, "Magician" (魔術師 Majutsushi), but with no background information provided. In the spin-off anime franchise (the "Red Jacket" series) it is revealed that he was born and grew up in the New York Bronx, where he developed his outstanding sharpshooting skills, but later relocated to Europe and joined the Italian Mafia.

However, Jigen eventually had an affair with Cicciolina, the wife of his boss. When her husband found out and tried to kill her, she accidentally ended up shooting him with his own revolver. Jigen took the gun - and thus the blame - on himself, evaded his Mafia pursuers and later joined the Chinese triads.
