Doraemon
Doraemon
possesses a fourth-dimensional pocket from which he can acquire various
kinds of futuristic tools, gadgets, and playthings from a future
department store. Doraemon originally had ears but they were bitten off
by a robotic mouse in the 22nd century. As a result, he developed a
morbid fear of mice despite being a robotic cat. He also has the
tendency to panic during emergencies, characterized by him frantically
trying to pull out a very much-needed tool from his pocket, only to
produce a huge assortment of unrelated household items. Doraemon's
favourite food is dorayaki, a Japanese treat filled with red bean paste.
Doraemon
is considered a substandard product because many of his robotic
features (ie. radar whiskers and cat-calling bell) malfunctioned after
production. One can turn off Doraemon by pulling his balloon tail.
In the 2007 birthday episode, 'MS-903' is used to call Doraemon by the factory owner where Doraemon is produced.
Doraemon usually uses the phrase "nanoda".
Nobita Nobi
Nobita
is the main character of the series and the center of the story. He is a
fourth grader in Tokyo's Nerima Ward and an only child. He wears
glasses, a red or yellow polo shirt with a white collar, and blue
shorts. Nobita's character flaws are endless: he is lazy, uncoordinated,
dim-witted, frail, plain-looking, unlucky, and bad at sports. Nobita's
typical day consists of arriving late on classes, scoring zeros in his
tests, getting lectured by his teacher, being bullied by his classmates
Gian and Suneo, falling into curbside rain gutters, being chased by
dogs, and getting scolded by his mom for his sloth and poor academic
results.
Despite his flaws, Nobita possesses some unique talents
such as his unrivaled marksmanship and ability to weave intricate string
figures. Although Nobita is usually portrayed as being cowardly, he has
often risked his life to help save others or even entire civilizations
(as seen in full-length stories).
Shizuka Minamoto
Shizuka,
usually called Shizu-chan or Shizuka-chan, is the smart, kind, and
pretty neighborhood girl who is the object of Nobita's affections. She
takes baths several times a day. Somehow, Nobita always seem to
unintentionally walk in on her (via the Dokodemo Door) while she is
still in the bathtub. She is also known for taking piano lessons
unwillingly, which is sometimes used as an excuse for declining to hang
out with Nobita. Her true passions are sweet potatoes and the violin, in
which her playing is as atrocious as Gian's singing. Due to Doraemon's
intervention, Shizuka will become Nobita's wife in the future timeline.
Takeshi Goda
Takeshi,
usually known by the nickname "Gian" from English word "giant", is the
big, strong, and quick-tempered local bully. His nickname may be derived
from giant. He is known for his confidence in his terrible singing
voice. He regularly subjects the neighborhood children to horrendous
singing recitals, which is sometimes combined with his equally bad
homemade dinner. He also frequently steals other children's toys and
books under the pretext of "borrowing" them, unless the toy is damaged.
This is how most fans considered Gian to be a major antagonist mostly to
Nobita and his friends. However, he does not hesitate to help them,
including Nobita when they are in real trouble, which often occurs in
the movies.
Several of the stories revolve around Nobita and his
friends' efforts to avoid Gian's concerts or in one particular episode
or chapter, which summarize his friends avoid visiting Gian's house on
his birthday because of his selfish nature. After reflecting on one
event about his birthday, Gian thought of himself why he wasn't popular
among his peers. After getting a lecture from Doraemon to see what an
unruly character he is, Gian realize that he should've been a better
person and he begs Doraemon to give him another chance. However, things
didn't go exactly as planned when his friends at school or at the
streets mock him to see how weird Gian was acting and get kicked by
Suneo after learning his attempt to become gentle to his peers. This led
him to lose control of his temper and start attacking his friends
again.
Although he bullies the other children (mostly Nobita), he is
terrified of his mother, who runs the local grocery store. He founded
his own baseball team named after himself. Although Nobita is often
blamed for the losses against the baseball team's rival, the "Tyranos",
Gian and Suneo still force Nobita to play because they do not have
enough players.
Gian has a younger sister named Jaiko, whom he adores.
Suneo Honekawa
Suneo
is the fox-faced (inherited from his mother) rich kid who loves to
flaunt his material wealth before everyone. He is often seen with Gian,
serving as Gian's lackey while they bully Nobita together. This is only
because Suneo avoids being suffered under the wrath of Jian's bullish
trait. Some of the stories start with Suneo showing off some new video
game or toy which evokes Nobita's envy. He has an extensive knowledge of
science, and is a talented artist and designer.
In some scenes,
Suneo is seen as a narcissist who loves to stare at himself in the
mirror while telling himself that he is the most handsome guy in the
world. He is still a bed-wetter and needs to wear diapers when he
sleeps, despite being in the fourth grade. He considers this humiliating
habit his secret weakness. Suneo is also very self-conscious about his
height, being the shortest kid in his class.
Hidetoshi Dekisugi
Hidetoshi is Nobita's classmate and rival for Shizuka's affections. He
always gets perfect scores on his tests, but never shows off his
abilities. He willingly helps Nobita whenever he has philosophical or
scientific questions. His name literally means "brilliant
over-achiever", and his last name is a pun on dekisugiru, which means
"over achieving". Unfortunately for Nobita, Shizuka tends to prefer the
company of Hidetoshi, who is more of her intellectual equal.
Nobisuke Nobi
Nobita's
father and laid-back salaryman. He is very considerate of Nobita, often
seen arriving home from work to placate Tamako's anger towards Nobita;
this habit may come from Nobisuke's own childhood, since his father (and
Nobita's grandfather) was very similar to Tamako. He has trouble
quitting smoking and is self-conscious about his inability to pass the
driving test. He also has a poor memory and sometimes arrives home drunk
from nightly business meetings. He was once an aspiring art student. He
also likes golf, which most Japanese businessmen and employees play.
Tamako Nobi
Nobita's
stay-at-home mother. She is usually seen scolding Nobita or sending him
out of the house (a typical Japanese household punishment used by
parents). She actually loves her son very much, but is disappointed by
his lazy attitude and academic failures. Several episodes involve Nobita
trying to avoid his mother’s scolding by using Doraemon’s gadgets. Her
maiden name is revealed to be 'Kataoka'.
Sensei
Nobita's
homeroom teacher. He is a strict taskmaster who often punishes Nobita
for failing to do his homework. The punishments range from standing in
the hallway to sweeping the classroom after-school. He often pays
unexpected visits to the Nobi’s in order to inform Mrs. Tamako about
Nobita’s recent zeroes on exams. He also usually sees Nobita in streets
and often scold him to study hard and for getting low scores during
exams. His real name is unknown and he is only referred to as "Sensei",
but in the NTV anime his name is given as Ganari.
Dorami
Dorami,
also known as Dorami-chan, is the sister of Doraemon. She happens to be
about 2 years younger than him. Strangely enough, they are siblings due
to the fact that they shared half of the oil from a can. She lives in
the 22nd-century Tokyo with Sewashi, Nobita's great-great-grandson. She
is yellow and has ears that resemble a large red bow. She likes melonpan
and is afraid of cockroaches. She is also shown to be a more advanced
robot than Doraemon (Dorami is able to produce 10,000 horse power, in
comparison to Doraemon's 129.3). She sometimes visits Nobita with a time
machine when Doraemon is "off-duty."
Mini-Doras
Mini-Doras
are actually gadgets of Doraemon. They are mini versions of Doraemon,
each with a different color. They can think and feel for themselves, and
communicate with Doraemon through the "Mini-Dora" language. They act as
helpers for all sorts of tasks, such as repairing the internal
mechanism of Doraemon.
Sewashi
Nobita's
great-great-grandson, he is the one who sends Doraemon back to the past
to look after Nobita. Sewashi first bought Doraemon in 2112 when
Doraemon still had ears and his original factory paint. He is also the
owner of Doraemon's sister, Dorami.
