“Nobita Nobi is a ten-year-old Japanese school boy, who is kind-hearted and honest, but also lazy, unlucky, weak, gets bad grades and is bad at sports.”
“One day, a robot cat from the 22nd century named Doraemon is sent back to the past by Nobita’s future grandchild, Sewashi Nobi, to take care of Nobita so that his descendants can have a better life.”
“Doraemon has a four-dimensional pouch in which he stores tools, inventions, and gadgets from the future to aid Nobita whenever he is faced with a problem.”
“Although Doraemon is a cat robot, he has a fear of mice because of an incident where robotic mice chewed off his ears. This is why Doraemon lost his original yellow color and turned blue, from sadness.”
“Nobita has three main friends: Takeshi Goda (nicknamed Gian), Suneo Honekawa (Gian’s sidekick), and Shizuka Minamoto, Nobita’s best friend and love-interest.”
“Gian is a strong, leading and domineering boy, but also loyal to his friends. Suneo is a wealthy and spoiled boy who uses his friendship with Gian to win the respect of other schoolmates.”
“Shizuka is a gentle and kind girl who frequently plays with Nobita. Nobita has a crush on Shizuka; she is his prospective future wife (Nobita’s future wife is initially Gian’s younger sister).”
“Nobita normally responds by using Doraemon’s gadgets to fight back against them, but Nobita has a tendency to get carried away with using the gadgets.”
