Doraemon
Doraemon is a Japanese manga and anime character—a robotic cat from the 22nd century who travels back in time to help a young boy named Nobita.
The character, created by Fujiko F.
Fujio in 1969, is iconic in Japan and across Asia, recognizable by his blue body, red nose, and lack of ears.
Doraemon pulls miraculous gadgets from a four-dimensional pocket on his belly: The bamboo-copter is one of Doraemon's most famous inventions.
The franchise has expanded into films, merchandise, and cultural ambassador status for Japan.
