Taiwanese anime fans are in for a real treat this year. To mark the 100th year before the birth of Asia's most beloved animated character, a special exhibition is being held in Taipei to celebrate everything about Doraemon — the hilarious time-traveling Japanese robot cat.
Doraemon has been an indelible part of East Asian culture for over four decades. The Doraemon manga comic series, which was created by Fujiko F. Fujio, first hit bookshelves in December 1969. Then, in 1973, Doraemon made his debut on the small screen. The Doraemon TV series, which has been translated into more than 30 languages, has since gone on to become the longest-airing anime series ever with more than 1,800 episodes.
Doraemon's tale tells of his efforts to help the hapless Nobita Nobi, a young Japanese schoolboy who is so clumsy, weak and lazy that his descendants in the 22nd century face the prospect of living in poverty. In order to change their fate, they send their family robot back in time to help Nobita out. For his mission, Doraemon is equipped with a four-dimensional (4D) pocket that produces a number of futuristic gadgets and devices.
Doraemon is a smart and caring mentor, and the fat, blue robot cat's partnership with Nobita results in triumphs, disasters and hilarious situations. The series is also filled with poignant moments. For example, in one memorable episode Doraemon wants to go back to the future, even though he's worried about his young friend. Nobita then tries to prove that he will be okay without Doraemon and challenges Giant — a big, strong and quick-tempered local bully — to a fight.
As Nobita is wounded badly, he says, with tears in his eyes, "Did you see that Doraemon? Now you can go home without any worries!" At this moment, Doraemon realizes that it is his duty to aid Nobita.
The popularity of the manga comic strip and subsequent TV series has been attributed to the author's ability to tap into the dreams and imaginations of children while also capturing childhood experiences that we can all relate to.
In addition to Doraemon, Nobita and Giant, the series also features Dorami, Doraemon's sister; Shizuka, the smart, kind and pretty neighborhood girl who takes baths several times a day; and Suneo, the neighborhood rich kid who loves to show off in front of everyone.
Through his adventures and experiences, Doraemon teaches us about important values such as courage, forgiveness, optimism and sharing that are often neglected in other Japanese anime films and TV shows.
