As you are a beginner I figured I would write to you directly rather than clog up a article talk page.
I've basically taken it upon myself to improve the Lupin articles so I know pretty much what each articles strengths and weaknesses are and things to look for. Outside of the main article and Castle of Cagliostro pretty much all of them need extensive work. Even the main page Lupin III is still undergoing frequent changes despite being overhauled several years ago by myself. There are pages that eventually need creating (some of which are in the process of being planned), and others that could do with merging or extensive rewriting.
Character articles are a bit of a pain it must be said but thankfully we have some good examples for you to take a look at such as Naruto Uzumaki. Himura Kenshin and Edward Elric. Don't worry too much about matching those, just get an idea of what you can work towards at a later date. The layout of those articles is what you should aim for, the amount of detail doesn't need to be on that level. Hopefully they will also give you an idea of writing style and suitable sources. You can source things from the anime or manga directly, but you can't use any interpretation at all, so you should't rely on it. The continuity issues don't really help.
It might be an idea to work on a draft in user space.
