The Arsene Lupin books have the famous detective "Herlock Sholmes" as one of Lupin's adversaries. AFAIK the original editions used the name Sherlock Holmes, but it was changed to avoid legal issues.

I wonder which name reprints will use now.

This variation also appears in the Ace Attorney games[0].

I didn't realise that about the Lupin books. Ironic that Monkey Punch's Lupin The Third comics had copyright issues of there own. (This is why in the original dub of Castle of Cagliostro, Lupin was called "Wolf")
