Shizuka Minamoto

These are the characters in the anime and manga series Doraemon. Also listed are their original NTV voice actors (1973), followed by their TV Asahi voice actors (1979~2005; 2005~). Part of the 22nd century characters are listed in The Doraemons.

Note: In some translations of Doraemon, the names of these characters are different from the original names.

Fujiko's friends say that every main character represents elementary school student archetypes Fujiko noticed in his own school days. Nobita appears in every episode of the anime, while Doraemon appears in most episodes, sometimes being substituted (for medical checkup or on leave) by his sister Dorami.

Doraemon (ドラえもん, Doraemon^?) is the titular character of the series. He is a cat-like robot created for Nobita from the future but people often think that he is not a robotic cat but a raccoon dog, and he does not like that, as seen in many episodes. He is sent to the Matsushiba Robot Factory (マツシバロボット工場^?) as blueprint, and is sent back in time by Sewashi (Nobita's Great-great-grandson) to aid Nobita, since Sewashi learned from his parents that Nobita suffered much in his life and wanted to help him. Doraemon possesses a 4-dimensional pocket from which he can acquire various kinds of futuristic tools, gadgets, and playthings from a future department store. 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 household items and unwanted gadgets. Still, Doraemon is very friendly and intelligent, not to mention long-suffering because of Nobita's antics. Since Sewashi sent Doraemon to the past, Doraemon has been living as the unofficial fourth member of Nobita's family and acts like a second son to Nobita's parents, since despite being a robot, he requires basic needs for a person, such as eating, and also sleeps in the closet of Nobita's bedroom.
