«If the word "sadness" can be applied to Zenigata, it's him.» [6/7]
«He is easy to draw, or I can draw him in any way I want. He can be used as a gag or a serious character, depending on the story. In other words, he is a valuable character who can bring out a good flavor no matter which way he is used.» [5/7]
«Zenigata's character is similar to Goemon's. He is strong in martial arts and really cool. I wanted to bring out more of that in the story, but like Tom in "Tom and Jerry," I ended up playing a dopey character who is always getting beat up by Lupin.» [3/7]
«His relationship with Lupin is reminiscent of my all-time favorite cartoon "Tom & Jerry". From the very beginning I had the idea of having Zenigata in it when I was setting up the story. I wanted to push the point of mutual recognition of each other's abilities to the fullest.»
