The first full story in the Doraemon

manga series was published in
January 1970. A pre-advertisement
for the manga was published in six
different magazines in December
1969. A total of 1,345 stories were
created in the original series, which
are published by Shogakukan. It is
one of the best-selling manga in the
world, having sold over 100 million
copies as of 2015.

The volumes are collected in the

Takaoka Central Library in Toyama,
Japan, where Fujiko Fujio was born.
Turner Broadcasting System bought
the rights to the Doraemon anime
series in the mid-1980s for an English-
language release in the United
States,[3] but cancelled it without
explanation before broadcasting any
episodes. In July 2013, Voyager
Japan announced the manga would
be released digitally in English via the
Amazon Kindle e-book service.

Awards for Doraemon include the

Japan Cartoonists Association Award
for excellence in 1973, the first
Shogakukan Manga Award for
children's manga in 1982, and the first
Osamu Tezuka Culture Award in
1997. In March 2008, Japan's Foreign
Ministry appointed Doraemon as the
nation's first "anime ambassador." A
Ministry spokesperson explained the
novel decision as an attempt to help
people in other countries understand
Japanese anime better and to deepen
their interest in Japanese culture.[4]

The Foreign Ministry action confirms

that Doraemon has come to be
considered a Japanese cultural icon.
In India, its Hindi, Telugu and Tamil
translation has been telecasted,
where the anime version is the
highest-rated kids' show; winning the
Best Show For Kids award twice at the
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards
India in 2013 and 2015. In 2002 Time
Asia magazine acclaimed the
character as an "Asian Hero" in a
special feature survey. An edited
English dub distributed by TV Asahi
aired on Disney XD in the United
States started on July 7, 2014. On
August 17, 2015, another English
dubbed version distributed by Luk
Internacional began broadcasting on
Boomerang UK. The film series is the
largest by number of admissions in
Japan.

Plot
Doraemon, a cat robot from the 22nd
century, is sent by Sewashi Nobi to
help Nobita Nobi, a young boy who
scores poor grades and is frequently
bullied by his two classmates, Gian
and Suneo so that his descendants
can improve their lives. Doraemon
has a four-dimensional pouch in
which he stores unexpected gadgets
that improve his life. He has many
gadgets, which he gets from The
Future Department Store, such as
Bamboo-Copter, a small piece of
headgear that can allow you to fly;
Anywhere Door, a pink-colored door
that allows people to travel according
to the thoughts of the person who
turns the knob; Time Kerchief, a
handkerchief that can turn an object
new or old or a person young or old;
Translator Tool, a cuboid jelly that can
allow people to converse in any
language across the universe;
Designer Camera, a camera that
produces dresses; and many more.

Nobita's closest friend is Shizuka

Minamoto, who eventually becomes
his wife in the future and has a child
with him named Nobisuke Nobi (the
same name as Nobita's father).
Nobita is often bullied by Takeshi
Goda (nicknamed "Giant"), and Suneo
Honekawa, but they are shown to be
friends in some of the episodes. In
most episodes, a typical story
consists of Nobita taking a gadget
from Doraemon for his needs
eventually causing more trouble than
he was trying to solve. As for the
movies, Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka,
Suneo, and Giant (and sometimes
Dekisugi) are often shown ready for
an adventure to protect people. They
are adventurous, humorous, and
emotional.

Manga
The first appearance of Doraemon, who came
via the time machine.

In December 1969 the Doraemon

manga appeared in six different
children's monthly magazines
published by Shogakukan. The
magazines were aimed at children
from nursery school to fourth grade.
In 1977 CoroCoro Comic was
launched as the flagship magazine of
Doraemon.[5]

Since the debut of Doraemon in 1969,

the stories have been selectively
collected into forty-five tankōbon
volumes, which were published under
Shogakukan's Tentōmushi Comics
imprint, from 1974 to 1996.
Shogakukan published a master
works collection consisting of twenty
volumes between July 24, 2009 and
September 25, 2012.[6][7]

In addition, Doraemon has appeared

in a variety of manga series by
Shōgakukan. In 2005 Shōgakukan
published a series of five more manga
volumes under the title Doraemon+
(Doraemon Plus), which were not
found in the forty-five original
volumes. On December 1, 2014, a
sixth volume of Doraemon Plus was
published. This was the first volume
in eight years.[8]

There have been two series of

bilingual, Japanese and English,
volumes of the manga by
SHOGAKUKAN ENGLISH COMICS
under the title Doraemon: Gadget Cat
from the Future, and two audio
versions.[9][10] The first series has ten
volumes and the second six.[9] In
addition, 21st Century Publishing
House ( 二十一世纪出版社集团)
released bilingual English-Chinese
versions in Mainland China.[11]

In July 2013, Fujiko Fujio Productions

announced that they would be
collaborating with ebook publisher
Voyager Japan and localization
company AltJapan Co., Ltd. to release
an English language version of the
manga in full-color digitally via the
Amazon Kindle platform in North
America.[12] Shogakukan released the
first volume in November 2013.[13]
This English version incorporates a
variety of changes to character
names; Nobita is "Noby", Shizuka is
"Sue", Suneo is "Sneech", and Gian is
"Big G", while dorayaki is "Yummy
Bun/Fudgy Pudgy Pie."[14] A total of
200 volumes have been released.

The manga has been published in

English in print by Shogakukan Asia,
using the same translation as the
manga available on Amazon Kindle.
Unlike the Amazon Kindle releases
these volumes are in black and white
instead of color. They have released
four volumes.[15]

Shogakukan started digital

distribution of all forty-five original
volumes throughout Japan from July
16, 2015.[16]
Anime

After a brief first attempt at an

animated series in 1973 by Nippon
Television, Doraemon remained fairly
exclusive in manga form until 1979
when a newly formed animation
studio, Shin-Ei Animation (now owned
by TV Asahi) produced an animated
second attempt of Doraemon.[17] This
series became incredibly popular, and
ended with 1,787 episodes on March
25, 2005. In Asia, this version is
sometimes referred to as the Ōyama
Edition, after the voice actress who
voiced Doraemon in this series.[18]

Celebrating the anniversary of the

franchise, a third Doraemon animated
series began airing on TV Asahi on
April 15, 2005 with new voice actors
and staff, and updated character
designs.[19] This version is sometimes
referred to in Asia as the Mizuta
Edition, as Wasabi Mizuta is the voice
actress for Doraemon in this
series.[18]

On May 12, 2014, TV Asahi

Corporation announced an agreement
with The Walt Disney Company to
bring the 2005 series to the Disney XD
television channel in the United States
beginning in the summer of that
year.[20][21][22] Besides using the name
changes that were used in AltJapan's
English adaptation of the original
manga, other changes and edits have
also been made to make the show
more relatable to an American
audience, such as Japanese text
being replaced with English text on
certain objects like signs and graded
papers, items such as yen notes being
replaced by US dollar bills, and the
setting being changed from Japan to
the United States.[23] Confirmed cast
member of the new American
adaptation include veteran anime
voice actress Mona Marshall of South
Park fame in the title role of
Doraemon and Johnny Yong Bosch of
Power Rangers and Bleach fame as
Noby. The English dub is produced by
Bang Zoom! Entertainment.[24] Initial
response to the edited dub was
positive.[25] The Disney adaptation
began broadcast in Japan on Disney
Channel from February 1, 2016. The
broadcast offered the choice of the
English voice track or a newly
recorded Japanese track by the US
cast.[26]
In EMEA regions, the series is
licensed by LUK International.[27] The
series began broadcast in the United
Kingdom on August 17, 2015 on
Boomerang.[28]

Feature films

In 1980, Toho released the first of a

series of annual feature-length
animated films based on the lengthy
special volumes published annually.
Unlike the anime and manga (some
based on the stories in select
volumes), they are more action-
adventure oriented and have more of
a shōnen demographic, taking the
familiar characters of Doraemon and
placing them in a variety of exotic and
perilous settings. Nobita and his
friends have visited the age of the
dinosaurs, the far reaches of the
galaxy, the depths of the ocean, and a
world of magic. Some of the films are
based on legends such as Atlantis,
and on literary works including
Journey to the West and Arabian
Nights. Some films also have serious
themes, especially on environmental
topics and the use of technology.
Overall, the films have a somewhat
darker tone in their stories, unlike the
manga and anime.

Video games

There are 63 Japanese-only

Doraemon video games, ranging from
platformer games to RPG games,
beginning with the Emerson's Arcadia
2001 system. Doraemon can also be
seen in Namco's popular Taiko no
Tatsujin rhythm game series like Taiko
no Tatsujin (11 – 14 only), Metcha!
Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Nanatsu no
Shima no Daibouken, Taiko no Tatsujin
Wii, Taiko no Tatsujin Plus, and Taiko
no Tatsujin DS: Dororon! Yokai
Daikessen!!. The Japanese version of
Microsoft's 3D Movie Maker contained
a Doraemon-themed expansion pack.
The first Doraemon game to receive a
Western release was Doraemon Story
of Seasons (2019).

Musical

Doraemon the Musical: Nobita and the

Animal Planet (舞台版ドラえもん のび
太とアニマル惑星プラネット。
Butaiban Doraemon: Nobita to
Animaru Puranetto) was a 2008
musical based on the 1990 anime film
of the same name.[29] It debuted at
Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space on
September 4, 2008 running through
September 14.[30] Wasabi Mizuta
voiced Doraemon.

Merchandise
The Doraemon franchise has had
numerous licensed merchandise. In
1999, Doraemon licensed
merchandise sold ¥83.01 billion in
Japan, where it was the fifth highest-
grossing franchise annually.[31]
Doraemon licensed merchandise in
Japan later sold ¥50 billion in 2000,[32]
¥36.84 billion in 2001,[31] ¥30 billion in
2003,[32] ¥106.06 billion during 2004–
2008,[31] and ¥51.9 billion during
2010–2012,[31] adding up to at least
¥357.81 billion ($4,484.4 million)
licensed merchandise sales in Japan
by 2012. Global retail sales of
Doraemon licensed merchandise later
generated $557 million in 2015,[33]
and $551 million in 2016.[33] As of
2016, Doraemon has generated at
least $5.592 billion in licensed
merchandise sales.

Reception
Until 2015, more than 100 million
tankobon copies of the manga have
been sold, and the anime series is
available in over 30 countries.[34][35]
The Doraemon film series sold more
than 103 million tickets at the
Japanese box office by 2015,
surpassing Godzilla as the highest-
grossing film franchise in Japan,[36]
and the films grossed over $1.6 billion
at the worldwide box office, making
Doraemon the highest-grossing anime
film franchise.[a]

Doraemon was awarded the first

Shogakukan Manga Award for
children's manga in 1982. In 1997, it
was awarded the first Osamu Tezuka
Culture Award.[37] In 2008, the
Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
appointed Doraemon as the first
anime cultural ambassador.[38][39][40]

On 22 April 2002, on the special issue

of Asian Hero in Time magazine,
Doraemon was selected as one of the
22 Asian Heroes. Being the only
anime character selected, Doraemon
was described as "The Cuddliest Hero
in Asia".[41] In 2005, the Taiwan
Society of New York selected
Doraemon as a culturally significant
work of Japanese otaku pop-culture
in its exhibit Little Boy: The Arts of
Japan's Exploding Subculture, curated
by renowned artist Takashi
Murakami.[42]

Jason Thompson praised the "silly

situations" and "old fashioned, simple
artwork", with Doraemon's expression
and comments adding to the
"surrounding elementary-school
mischief".[10]

On September 3, 2012, Doraemon was

granted official residence in the city of
Kawasaki, one hundred years before
he was born.[43]
With the 2013 film, Doraemon: Nobita
no Himitsu Dōgu Museum, Doraemon
has surpassed Godzilla in terms of
overall ticket sales for a film franchise
as Toho's most lucrative movie
property. The 33-year series (1980–
2013) has sold a combined 100
million tickets vs. the 50-year Godzilla
series (1954–2004), which sold a
combined 99 million tickets.[44] It also
became the largest franchise by
numbers of admissions in Japan.[45]

The Doraemon anime series is India's

highest-rated children's television
show as of 2017, with a total of
478.5 million viewers across
Hungama TV and Disney Channel
India.[46] Doraemon is similarly
popular in neighbouring Pakistan,
where the Hindi-dubbed version is
aired (Hindi and Urdu are mutually
intelligible). Its popularity has led to
controversy in both countries. In 2016,
politicians and conservative activists
in both India and Pakistan
campaigned to ban the show from
television because they claimed it
"corrupts children."[47][48] In India, legal
notices were served against several
companies in India, targeting
Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan, as
having an adverse effect on children.
In Pakistan, Doraemon was targeted
by the political party Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf as having a negative
impact on children, because of
Nobita's constant reliance on
Doraemon's gadgets to solve
problems, and they attempted to ban
24 hour cartoon channels in general,
because of their supposed ruining of
children's minds. They also attempted
to ban the Hindi dub of the series, as
Pakistan's official language is
Urdu.[49]

Legacy
Shuttle bus featuring Doraemon to Fujiko F.
Fujio Museum in Kawasaki

A Fujiko F. Fujio museum opened in

Kawasaki on September 3, 2011,
featuring Doraemon as the star of the
museum.[50][51]

As one of the oldest, continuously

running icons, Doraemon is a
recognizable character in this
contemporary generation. Nobita, the
show's protagonist, is a break from
other characters typically portrayed
as special or extraordinary, and this
portrayal has been seen as reasons of
its appeal as well as the contrary,
especially in the United States.[52]
Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro
considers Doraemon to be "the
greatest kids series ever created".[53]

ESP Guitars have made several

Doraemon guitars aimed at
children.[54][55]

In late 2011, Shogakukan and Toyota

joined forces to create a series of live-
action commercials as part of
Toyota's ReBorn ad campaign. The
commercials depict the characters
nearly 20 years older. Hollywood actor
Jean Reno plays Doraemon.[56]

Doraemon has become a prevalent

part of popular culture in Japan.
Newspapers also regularly make
references to Doraemon and his
pocket as something with the ability
to satisfy all wishes. The series is
frequently referenced in other series
such as Gin Tama and Great Teacher
Onizuka.[57][58]

Doraemon appears in appeals for

charity. TV Asahi launched the
Doraemon Fund charity fund to raise
money for natural disasters.[59]

Doraemon, Nobita, and the other

characters also appear in various
educational manga.[60][61]

Doraemon appeared in the 2016

Summer Olympics closing ceremony
to promote the 2020 Summer
Olympics in Tokyo.[62][63]
