Yoko Jigen's no good, very bad day life

Yoko lost her little "sister" as a teen. Suki got in trouble with the local mafia and disappeared, and several different gangs claimed her murder.

Thirty years later, Yoko's daughter Naomi accidentally kills two gangsters and has to flee the country.

Turns out Yoko's "sister" is not dead and also not a girl, and Naomi will end up studying Bushido under her uncle's boyfriend, giving her mom a heart attack ^^

Btw, I have a fic on how Jigen reunites with his sister (and how it immediately blows up in their faces)! And while I haven't written any story about Naomi, you can find out more about her eventual career as a thief here and here!

Loooookkkkkk!! I got a drawing of the wives made by Jill @potato-lord-but-not !!

They’re my OCs, Yoko (Jigen’s sister) and her wife Eli Benson. I love them so much, and Jill did an amazing job of capturing Yoko’s smitten expression 💖

(I also made them and the rest of my Lupin III OCs in Jill’s Picrew a while ago)

Have some Sun/Moon bisexuals (+ bonus sketchdump)

I think this is my first non-angst drawing of Yoko in years...

Local mafia goon will be the death of her wife, more at eleven.

Eli makes jokes to cope with her life.

Inspired by this genius post.

Diversity win! The corrupt cop who gave your boyfriend over to the mafia is bisexual!

I love Eli and Yoko a normal amount. -hides all my sketches of them-

Bonus:

Goemon is regretting taking a student.

Feat. Naomi in the supernatural AU where Jigen's family are inugamis, an attempt at Eli's hair, grumpy Yoko, and Eli and Yoko being gay old women <3

Question: for the Meiwaku gang stuff, I’m confused as to who’s related to who. Is the Jigen last name implying they’re the child of canon Jigen? Is the one person with the last name Ishikawa-Jigen the sibling of the first?

Hi, thanks for the ask!

Naomi Jigen-Benson is actually Jigen's niece. She's the daughter of my other OC Yoko , who is Jigen's older sister. Naomi also happens to be Goemon's student, for unrelated reasons.

Renjiro Jigen-Ishikawa is Jigen and Goemon's adopted son, so he's Naomi's cousin. (He's my friend @whosayscrimedoesntpay 's OC)

I hope that makes things clearer! 😁

@potato-lord-but-not 's Picrew is awesome, and I am about to make that everyone else's problem!

I just spent the past half-hour making all my and @whosayscrimedoesntpay 's Lupin III OCs, so here's a quick introduction of our brain children ^^

The Responsible Adults

Holders of the braincells

Yoko Benson (née Jigen). Older sister of Daisuke Jigen, corrupt cop working for the mafia, temporarily Zenigata's assistant. She is short and explosive, and would do anything for her family.

Eli Benson. Yoko's wife, waitress in a burger joint / front for the mafia. She is an absolute ray of sunshine despite her and Yoko's shitty life. Loves making puns, to her wife's great consternation.

The Meiwaku Gang

Thieves and professional gremlins

Naomi Jigen-Benson. Daughter of Yoko and Eli, (former) apprentice of Goemon. She has a life-long passion about samurais and has made it her life goal to become one. She tries to be cool and serious but she's actually a dork. Favorite weapon: bo staff.

Kanako Misuki. Naomi's girlfriend. She's an expert in explosives, chemicals, grenades and anything that goes boom, with a personnality to match. She used to be part of a biker gang. Favorite weapon: grenades.

Hiro Kimura. Childhood friend of Kanako, descendant of a long line of ninjas, whose techniques he has been learning since childhood. He also has a few hacking skills. He is very calm and soft-spoken, but just as willing to cause chaos as the others. Favorite weapon: kunai knives.

Milo Clarke. Hiro's boyfriend, he is the medic of the team. He met Hiro in uni and got roped into his bs. He is very kind and sunshine-y, until you try to hurt his (very capable of defending himself) boyfriend. Favorite weapon: kindness <3 (and brass knuckles). (J's OC)

The honorary members

Part-time gremlins

Camille Prevost. Officially an antiques restorer and art dealer, actually a master forger. She occasionally works with Meiwaku, occasionally against, and occasionally runs away with the loot after replacing it with a fake. Very charming and charismatic, unless you trigger his nerd-mode. Favorite weapon: basic forgery kit (they can hit you on the head with it if needed).

Renjiro Jigen-Ishikawa. Jigen and Goemon's adopted son. He inherited his parents' badassery, proficiency with weapons, and tendancy to cause problems on purpose, and he's full of snark. He helps Meiwaku on occasions. Favourite weapon: knives. (J's OC)

Don't hesitate to send asks about them, I'm always happy to talk about my children!

Lupin III OCs - Yoko Jigen and Eli Benson

Yoko is a police officer and a mole for the mafia. She grew up in the Bronx with her little sister Suki, who disappeared at 17. Yoko got ropped into her family’s mafia connections, got a job in the police, and married Eli Benson, waitress in a fast-food joint slash front for the mafia. Eli is a gentle giant, very kind and supportive, always optimistic despite their shitty life, and she’s Yoko’s whole world. She’s a closeted trans woman, only out to her wife and a few close friends.

Years later, Yoko discovers that her sister is 1) not dead, 2) actually a guy, and 3) dating a man Yoko’s mafia boss wants dead. 

After the whole mafia debacle, Yoko and Eli move to Canada to start their lives over. Eli comes out and starts transitionning, and they have a child, Naomi. Naomi will later become the student of Goemon Ishikawa, aka the man Yoko and Eli sold out to the mafia twenty years earlier. Way to give her parents a heart attack.

You can learn more about Yoko’s shitty, shitty karma in this fic!

Yoko 'bouta throw hands with a transphobe

[elliottjpg]

You know how there's a whole chapter of the manga that revolves around Jigen's (unnamed) sister getting kidnapped... and then she's never mentioned again, ever?

ANYWAY

This is Yoko Benson, née Yoko Jigen, she's Daisuke Jigen's older sister and has no idea that she even has a brother.

The thing is, Jigen's a trans man, and he disappeared (ran away from his home) when they were teens. So as far as Yoko is concerned, 1) she has a sister, not a brother, and 2) that sister is probably dead.

She's in the NYPD, but she actually works for the mafia - giving them info about ongoing cases, influencing investigations, etc. She temporarily becomes Zenigata's assistant when he comes to New York chasing Lupin, as she's also trying to find Lupin by order of the mafia.

Things get complicated when she finds out that her sister is 1) still alive, 2) actually a man, and 3) dating the guy her boss wants dead.

Yoko is short and angry, about as stubborn as Zenigata, and fiercely protective of her family, and I love her very much.

Bonus: a few sketches of Yoko, her spouse Ana, and Zenigata for height reference. Please ignore the fact that Yoko's profile looks weirdly like Goemon.

She's going to be a supporting character in my fic in progress, Bad Blood.
