| Series Summary |
Just about anyone in Japan will recognize the name Doraemon, whose humorous story revolves around a fourth-grade boy named Nobita that is so weak, unlucky, and lazy that his descendants from the 22nd century had to send the blue cat-robot Doraemon back in time to help him out.
With futuristic gadgets stashed in his pocket to solve problems and make children's dreams come true, the comic depicts the many adventures and dreams of childhood in the fourth grade. It was popular not only young children but also with adults, and the duo of Doraemon and Nobita soon became famous throughout the world. The manga has become synonymous with children’s manga in Japan, the equivalent of Mickey Mouse in the U.S., and many of Doraemon’s gadgets such as the Dokodemo Door (The Anywhere Door) and the Takecopter (Bamboo-copter) has become everyone’s dream tools. It is said that Mr. Fujimoto initially came up with Doraemon in 1969 (or 1970) after tripping on his young daughter's toy, hearing a neighborhood cat fight, and wishing he had a machine to generate a new manga concept. Between the toy's shape, the cats' yowling, and the longing for a machine to solve his problems, he came up with a robot cat with a pocket containing all sorts of problem-solving gadgets. (From a supplement to a children's manga magazine) Today, with forty-five volumes published in more than a dozen languages, 19 full-length books (which were the basis for the Doraemon movies), and sales totaling some 100 million, it is one of Japan’s all-time best sellers. The animated version of Doraemon still continues to this day with over 30 movies and spin-offs, drawing a total audience of close to 63 million. |
