    WHAT IS DORAEMON?

    What is Doraemon

    MS-903 Doraemon or simply Doraemon is the main character of the manga series with the same title, created by Fujiko F. Fujio. He’s from the future, specifically the 22nd century, which is like a hundred years from now. He's sent back in time to help his friend Nobita Nobi, who's kinda clumsy and needs a little push to become successful.

     

    What is Doraemon

    Now, Doraemon's not your average robot. He's got a blue body with a big, round face and a red nose. Although his appearance is cat-like, he acts like a human. Sometimes, people who see him for the first time think he's a raccoon dog, and that makes him really mad! 

     

    Doraemon’s got some super cool features too! He can see in the dark with his infrared eyes, hear super well with his special ears (even though they got bitten by rats and work like human ears now), and his big mouth can even fit a whole washbasin! Doraemon also used to have a super powerful nose and a radar beard, but they’re now out of order.

     

    WHAT IS THE MEANING OF DORAEMON IN ENGLISH?

    What is the meaning of Doraemon

    The name "Doraemon" can be roughly translated to "stray cat" in English. “Dora” comes from “dora neko,” which means a bold or stray cat. And “emon” is like an old-fashioned ending for boys’ names. You may think that Doraemon comes from dorayaki, a pancake sandwich that’s actually Doraemon’s favorite food, but it’s not!

     

    WHICH COUNTRY IS DORAEMON FROM?

    Which country is Doraemon from?

    Doraemon is from Japan! This earless robot cat from Fujiko F. Fujio’s manga first appeared in 1970 in a Japanese magazine. Then, they made it into anime TV shows and movies. Various types of Doraemon merchandise and media have also been developed.

    "The accumulation of small daily efforts will create history!"

    Because of really good feedback, the manga and anime were licensed for English-language release, making this character popular worldwide.

     

    WHAT IS THE STORY OF DORAEMON?

    The Doraemon manga is about a ten-year-old boy named Nobita who’s nice but lazy, not really good at school or sports, and has bad luck. One day, a blue robot cat named Doraemon comes from the future to help him. This robot was sent by Nobita's future grandchild, Sewashi, to make sure Nobita had a better life.

     

    What is the story of Doraemon

    Every episode is about Doraemon taking a special tool from his pouch to help Nobita solve his problems. They usually fix a problem but sometimes cause new ones if they use the tool too much. In their daily life, Doraemon, Nobita, and their friends have many adventures and fun!

     

    WHEN WAS DORAEMON CREATED?

    In the early summer of 1969, Fujiko F. Fujio and his team began planning a new series after his previously written manga, Umeboshi Denka. When thinking of new ideas, Fujio wished there was a machine that could help him come up with ideas for his manga. Then, he tripped over his daughter’s toy and heard cats fighting in his neighborhood.

     

    When was Doraemon created

    That’s how he came up with the idea of Doraemon! When creating the character, Fujio drew many manga versions of cat drawings. The first Doraemon manga was published in a magazine called Shogakukan in January 1970. In the beginning, Doraemon wasn’t very popular, but after it became an anime, it was a big hit!

     

    HOW OLD IS DORAEMON?

    How old is Doraemon

    Doraemon was created in the future, in the year 2112. If we count back from the current year, he would be "minus" 90 years old. Even though he was made in the future, he first came to our time and became popular in 1970 through a manga and anime series. So, while Doraemon is -90 years old in his own timeline, he made his first appearance as a beloved character more than 5 decades ago in the manga series.

     

    WHAT DOES DORAEMON LOOK LIKE?

    What does Doraemon look like?

    Doraemon is a robot cat with a round and thick body. He has a special pocket on his belly called a "four-dimensional pocket" where he keeps all kinds of gadgets from the future. Even though he's a robot, he worries about his weight and has tried dieting because he doesn't like when people call him fat or say he has a big head.

     

    Doraemon ears

    And guess what? Doraemon’s original color is yellow, but he turned blue from sadness and crying for three days because a robot rat chewed off his ears. He has big, infrared eyes that help him see in the dark and whiskers that should work like radar but are broken. He also has a red tail that acts like a switch for his functions and sways just like a real cat’s when he’s mad! 

     

    HOW TALL IS DORAEMON?

    How tall is Doraemon

    Doraemon’s height is exactly 129.3 centimeters! This figure was determined by Fujio in 1975, as it was decided that Doraemon’s height, weight, and birthday were all the same sequence of the numbers, 1293! At first, Doraemon’s height matched Nobita’s, but as the manga series went on, he was depicted as slightly shorter.

     

    DORAEMON’S AWESOME 4D POCKET

    Doraemon's pocket

    Doraemon is famous for his special pocket and for good reason! The pocket on his belly is called a “four-dimensional pocket,” and there’s a “four-dimensional warehouse” inside where he can store all sorts of tools, big or small. Doraemon can take out whatever you need just by thinking about it!

     

    Doraemon 4D pocket

    When Doraemon takes out a tool, he likes to hold it up and say its name. In the anime, it’s even accompanied by special music and sound effects! But here’s the catch: when Nobita needs something urgently, Doraemon sometimes makes a mess and pulls out the wrong tools first. That’s because Doraemon doesn’t keep things organized!

     

    WHAT IS DORAEMON’S FAVORITE GADGET?

    Doraemon's favorite gadget

    As we’ve explained, Doraemon’s 4D pocket can hold unlimited storage of amazing tools. So, does Doraemon have a favorite gadget? Yes! First, there’s the Take-copter, or as they call it in Japan, the taketombo. It’s like a tiny fan placed on the head that lets Doraemon and Nobita zoom around the sky on their adventures.

     

    Doraemon's gadget

    Then, there’s the Dokodemo Door or the Anywhere Door that lets you go anywhere you want to go. It can be in a different country or even a different planet! Another gadget for traveling is the Time Machine. Unlike Doraemon’s other gadgets, this one’s not stored in his pocket. Instead, it’s in Nobita’s desk drawer.

     

    WHAT IS DORAEMON’S FAVORITE FOOD?

    Doraemon's favorite food

    Doraemon's favorite food is dorayaki, a yummy Japanese sweet made of pancakes filled with sweet red bean paste. In one story, Doraemon's girlfriend, a dancing robot cat named Noramyako, gave him dorayaki for the first time, and he loved it ever since. He's really picky about how it tastes, saying that dorayaki that's too sweet is bad. There was even a time that he had a big argument with a shopkeeper over the taste of dorayaki!

     

    Doraemon Dorayaki

    Doraemon loves dorayaki so much that he once ate the world's biggest one all by himself and won a dorayaki-eating contest. If he goes too long without eating dorayaki, he gets really cranky and can't think straight until he eats some.

    “No way, the dorayaki is sold out!”

    Sometimes, Doraemon does sneaky things to get dorayaki, like raising the price of food or starting a business just to make more money for dorayaki. He even thought about making a special bacteria to turn water into dorayaki! 

     

    WHY IS DORAEMON SCARED OF RATS?

    Why is Doraemon scared of rats

    You may think this robot cat will chase rats, but it’s actually the other way around. Doraemon is really scared of rats! It all started when he was taking a nap and a robot rat chewed off his ears. Just hearing the word “mouse” gives him chills! He’s also scared of other animals that look like rats, like hamsters, guinea pigs, and a mouse-shaped alien named Chimpui!

     

    When Doraemon sees a rat, he screams loudly and runs away at a super speed of 129.3 km/h! Sometimes, he even passes out. To get away from rats, Doraemon might climb up high or stick to the ceiling. Sometimes, he has to face his fears and help Nobita by confronting a mouse. But most of the time, rats really scare Doraemon!

     

    MEET DORAEMON’S FRIENDS & FAMILY!

    Doraemon characters

    Even though Doraemon is a robot, he has his own family back home. And when he traveled to the past, this cutie got to meet a lot of new friends to have adventures with! Let’s learn about Doraemon’s crew of family and friends from Fujiko F. Fujio’s beloved manga and anime series!

     

    Nobita

    Nobita Nobi (のび のびた)

    Born on August 7, Nobita is not the best at studying or sports, and some people think he’s lazy. But when he puts his mind to it, he can really shine! He often relies on Doraemon’s gadgets to help him out, but sometimes he shows his strong side and solves the problems by himself. And guess what? He can fall asleep super fast, in just 0.93 seconds!


    Shizuka Doraemon

    Shizuka Minamoto (みなもと しずか)

    A friend and crush of Nobita, this girl is super smart and has a kind heart. Her favorite food is roasted sweet potatoes, but she doesn’t eat them often to keep up her good shape. She’s learning to play the violin, and while she’s not the best, it’s still better than Gian’s singing!


    Gian Doraemon

    Takeshi Goda (ごうだ たけし)

    Also known as Gian, he’s a classmate of Nobita. Gian may seem tough and bossy, but deep down, he really cares about his little sister Jaiko and has a soft side when it comes to love. He loves singing, but unfortunately, he’s not the best at it and can make your ears hurt with his tone-deaf tunes. Still, he’s super proud of his songs and loves sharing them!

     

    Suneo

    Suneo Honekawa (ほねかわ スネお)

    Suneo is one of Nobita’s classmates who often hangs out with Gian, sometimes teaming up to bully Nobita. But he’s not all bad. He sometimes shows his softer side by helping Nobita. Suneo comes from a wealthy family and loves admiring himself in the mirror!

     

    Dorami

    Dorami (ドラミ)

    Doraemon’s little sister robot, Dorami also lives with the Nobi family in the 22nd century. Unlike Doraemon, she’s pretty strict and believes in helping Nobita figure things out himself instead of just lending him tools. She’s a solid dependable robot who always looks out for her brothers and friends!

     

    Noramyako

    Noramyako (ノラミャー子)

    A cat-shaped robot with droopy eyes and a sassy attitude, Noramyako was once Doraemon’s girlfriend. She teased Doraemon a lot, playing with his feelings. When she saw Doraemon without ears, she burst into laughter! That’s why they broke up.

     

    Tamako Nobi

    Tamako Nobi (のび たまこ)

    Tamako is Nobita’s mom, a 38-year-old housewife. Nobita and even Doraemon call her “Mama.” She’s known for giving Nobita a lot of advice and sometimes nagging him, just like a caring mom would!

     

    Nobisuke Nobi

    Nobisuke Nobi (のび のびすけ)

    This man is Nobita’s dad, a company employee. He’s not as strict as Tamako but does give Nobita a pep talk now and then, pushing him to do his best. He's always there to support and encourage Nobita when he's going through a tough time.

     

    Sewashi

    Sewashi (セワシ)

    Nobita’s great-great grandson is Sewashi, a person born in the year 2115. He's the one who sent Doraemon back in time to help Nobita with his problems.

     

    Mini Doras

    Mini-Doraemon (ミニドラえもん)

    Also called Mini Doras, these are miniature robots made by the Matsushiba Robot Factory. They were created to honor Doraemon for his bravery in helping the Time Patrol catch some bad guys. They look just like a mini Doraemon! Most of the time, they stay hidden in Doraemon's special pocket, ready to help out when needed.

     

    Gatchako

    Gatchako (ガチャ子)

    Gatchako is a unique duck-shaped robot who wears a cute dress and a ribbon on her head. She even has a square tooth at the tip of her beak! While she can talk like humans, she also makes animal-like noises. Just like Doraemon, she has a secret tool, but instead of keeping it in a pocket, she spits it out from her mouth.

     

    Jaiko

    Jaiko (ジャイ子)

    Gian's younger sister, Jaiko is at first a bit mischievous, but soon after, she becomes good friends with Nobita. As the series goes on, Jaiko dreams of becoming a manga artist and sometimes struggles with her brother's overprotective love.

     

    DOES DORAEMON HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?

    Doraemon Girlfriend

    Doraemon's love life is quite the kitty tale! In the manga, Noramyako is his ex-girlfriend. In the modern stories, he has a crush on different female felines like Tama, Mii, and Shiro. Sometimes, he even falls for a toy cat! There's also the animated movie Nobita's Wanyan Jikuden, where Doraemon falls head over heels for a cat-like human named Shammy.

     

    Doraemon idol

    But wait, there's more! Even though he's a robot cat, he's got a soft spot for human female idols in the manga series. He even had a poster of a fictional idol named Tsubasa Ito hanging in his closet. Doraemon sure knows how to keep his heart—and his paws—busy!

     

    DID DORAEMON LEAVE NOBITA IN THE END?

    Did Doraemon leave Nobita in the end?

    Well, the end of Doraemon and Nobita's time together is a bit of a tearjerker. When Nobita gets a bit older, Doraemon has to leave because of some new time-travel rules. So, Doraemon goes back to the future, leaving Nobita with just memories and an empty drawer that used to hold the time machine.

    "Farewell, Nobita. I will never forget the fun memories I had with you. Forever and ever..."

    Even though Doraemon's gone, every time Nobita opens that drawer, he's reminded of his amazing friend. So, while they might be apart, they'll always be in each other's hearts!
