#MS-903 "Doraemon" or simply Doraemon is the main, titular character of all Doraemon media (including, but not limited to the original manga, the anime [1973, 1979, and 2005], video games, and movies). Doraemon's signature colour is blue and he is usually represented by the colour blue.

Personality and Characteristics

Doraemon as seen on Stand by Me Doraemon

Doraemon is a blue robotic cat from the 22nd century, who weighs 129.3kg (285.05lbs) and measures at 129.3cm (4'3") tall. He was manufactured on September 3rd in the year 2112, bearing the code MS-903, at the Matsushiba Robot Factory. Doraemon is considered a substandard product because many of his robotic features (ie. radar whiskers and cat-calling V.ll) malfunctioned after production. During his manufacture, he got struck by lightning and lost an important screw that was part of his brain, thus affecting his performance in both his studies and towards society.

His favorite food is Yummy Buns. ( According to a story arc in the spin-off comic series, "The Doraemons", Doraemon's original paint color was yellow. His color changed after getting his ears gnawed off by a robot mouse. This caused him develop fear of mouse and slip into depression on top of a tower, where he drank a potion labelled "sadness", which augmented his depression to the point where, as he wept, his yellow paint washed off, and his voice deepened. These events are what caused Doraemon to develop musophobia, despite the fact he's a robot cat. These events were also animated into the intro to the series.

Doraemon also has a fourth-dimensional pocket on his body from which he can acquire various colourful, awesome and futuristic gadgets, tools and play things from a future department store, mostly each one he acquires in each story are to help out Noby Nobi with anything he has trouble with in the story. 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, which can be quite irritating at times. He was iminated for 17 times. He becomes angry, if, they call him Racoon-dog.

Doraemon is a very weird cat.  It's very difficult for Doraemon to go a day without Yummy Buns. Three days without any will make him desperately moan and do anything for a chance to get one. Doraemon is always tricked by Noby due to this.

 Doraemon, the champion of the 30 Yummy Buns Eating Contest, ate a bedroom sized Yummy Bun by himself, and went into the Genius Book of Records for eating the largest Yummy Bun the quickest. He also has a Yummy Bun encyclopedia to find the nearest and best Yummy Bun shops. He also like to eat watermelon, pudding,tea, juice and various cakes. He gets angry when anyone tries to eat Yummy Buns without offering him one.

In the original storyline of the comics, Doraemon is sent back from the 22nd century to the present day to aid Noby Nobi, a highly unlucky fourth-grader from in New York, by his great-great-grandson Soby. He sent Doraemon to the present day to help out his great-great-grandfather so that Doraemon will help improve Noby's circumstances so that his descendants, including Soby, could enjoy a better future. When Doraemon is "off-duty", his sister Dorami sometimes goes back in time from 2112 to the present day to visit Noby. Dorami quarrels with Doraemon when he refuses to go to future for his check-up. This is required by all future robots to ensure they're healthy. Doraemon refuses to go as he is very worried about Noby when he's away. He is upset if they call him "Italian" or "King Rabbit".

In one such episode, Doraemon gave Noby a doll which gives good advice to people. Later in the episode, Doraemon sneezed hard, resulting in him losing an important screw. This would result in a serious illness (or even expiry). Noby promised Doraemon that he would find the screw, not listening to the doll who said that Noby had to do his homework instead. The doll later got stuck with Big G. At last, after a long period of time, NobY found the screw and fixed Doraemon, which returned him to his senses.

Whenever Doraemon sees a cat that he loves, he will lose his appetite, even for Yummy Bun. He will also blush and become timid when he gives a present which contains highly advanced cat technology to any one of them.

Doraemon also lets them go, if he thinks it's the best for them.

Doraemon is well known within the neighbourhood's cat community. He holds many parties, helps others that are being bullied and stops cats from arguing. Doraemon is always ready to help others, human or animal.

Relationships

Noby Nobi

“

You're klutzy, slow, hate to study, timid, lazy, dense, bad at sports, coward, forgetful, unreliable and a goof-off.

”
— Doraemon describing Nobita, Stand by Me Doraemon

They can be called the closest and truest friends of all time. They both have a strong bond and will never leave each other's side. As seen in many episodes, Noby and Doraemon cannot live apart each other and are always by each other's side, in times of danger, times of happiness, or times of sadness.

One of their best moments was after the events of All the Way From the Country of the Future, Doraemon and Noby play baseball in the open lot. Nobita fails to catch an easy ball from Doraemon making Doraemon furious. Noby wants to go home and said that he can't do anything but it was stopped by Doraemon. Doraemon said that he doesn't want to study, doesn't want to play, he never tries harder and that's the reason why he was useless. Noby answered that just because he can't do anything, doesn't mean he's useless. Both of them argued. Noby accidentally removes Doraemon's bells and he went to drainage. Noby and Doraemon try their best to find it until it was sunset.

"Because of this, I know that Nobita can't study, Nobita can't play, Nobita is useless but Nobita is a good person"
~Doraemon to Nobita

Doraemon suggests Noby to go home and the bell is impossible to find in the dark and Noby apologizes. As Noby wears his shoes he finds Doraemon's bell in one of them and the two of them laugh. Doraemon thanks Noby and says that he will remember it forever. Doraemon says that he realizes that even though Noby cannot study harder, cannot play harder,  but he is a kind and good person. This makes Noby smile and the two go home. Noby doesn't remember that event until later in the movie. (Doraemon And Noby's Secret Gadget Museum Adventure Mystery ).

Sue Minamoto

“

She's very cute.

”
— Doraemon's first impression to Shizuka, Stand by Me Doraemon

SUE and Doraemon are great friends. SUE often invites him to her house to taste her food, which is usually loved by both Doraemon and Noby. It is shown in some episodes and movies that Doraemon cares for Sue and always makes sure she is out of danger.

Sneech Honekawa

Doraemon and Sneech are good friends. He also cares for him like he does for Sue, Noby and Big G and tries to keep them out of danger. Doraemon is one of the few who does not get bothered by Sneech's boasting, but instead takes out an even cooler gadget to show Sneech. Sneech used to be jealous of Noby because he has a cool robot cat (I, Honekawa Doraemon) but it is shown now that he is pretty happy with his own friendship with Doraemon, and does not envy Noby as much anymore.

Big G

Doraemon is also good friends with Big G. He helps him in many episodes and also feels sorry for him in some occasions. Big G may seem as a bully, but he always tries to return the favor to Doraemon by helping him out with something or other. Big G has also tricked and cheated Doraemon on occasion, but he seldom does anything like that now. Although Doraemon gets scared like everyone else when one of Big G's concerts take place, but he has always been there for him.
