Noël Takao (高尾ノエル Takao Noeru), the adopted son of the late Arsène Lupin, is Lupin X (ルパンX Rupan Ekusu), the Silver Ranger of the Lupinrangers & Patren X (パトレンX Patoren Ekusu), the Gold Ranger of the Patrangers. To avoid complications, the Ganglers know him simply as X (X Ekusu).

He is a phantom thief who is also a member of the GSPO France branch and is an engineer of the Lupin Collection who can modify them for human use. Like Kogure, he serves the Lupin family.

Personality
He is a mysterious 26-year-old special investigator from the GSPO's main branch who also a gentleman thief. He was the adopted son of Arsène Lupin and one of Back World's original inhabitants alongside Kogure, being the one who created the VS Changers and some VS Vehicles along with other items in the Lupin Collection. Noël arrived in Japan to aid both the Lupinrangers and the Patrangers, intending to unite the two teams against the Gangler. Noël possesses four X Trains (エックストレイン, Ekkusu Torein), combining the X Train Silver (エックストレインシルバー, Ekkusu Torein Shirubā) and X Train Gold (エックストレインゴールド, Ekkusu Torein Gōrudo) into the X Changer (Xチェンジャー, Ekkusu Chenjā) transformation firearm to become either the gold-colored Patren X (パトレンエックス, Patoren Ekkusu) or the silver-colored Lupin X (ルパンエックス, Rupan Ekkusu). He also uses the X Rod Sword (Xロッドソード, Ekkusu Roddo Sōdo) sidearm, which has two modes depending on his form: the jitte-like Rod Mode wielded by Patren X and the saber-like Sword Mode wielded by Lupin X. By setting either the Siren Striker or the Victory Striker into another Lupinranger or Patranger's VS Changer, Noël can become one of two armored forms: Super Lupin X (スーパールパンエックス, Sūpā Rupan Ekkusu) via the Siren Striker where he gains a pair of shoulder cannons, which allows him to perform the Super Superior Strike (スーパースペリオルストライク, Sūpā Superioru Sutoraiku) finisher, or Super Patren X (スーパーパトレンエックス, Sūpā Patoren Ekkusu) via the Victory Striker where he gains the ability to predict an enemy's maneuvers.
