Doraemon has become one of the most popular cartoon characters today. Children from various generations almost recognize the figures of Doraemon and Nobita and his friends. Even though it is so popular and big, in fact there are still some interesting facts about Doraemon comics that are hidden and rarely known. Here are some interesting facts.
1. Originally created to fill a children’s magazine column
The Doraemon character was created by Fujiko F. Fujio. Interestingly, at the beginning of its creation, the character Doraemon was not intended to be a comic, let alone an anime. Fujiko F. Fujio created the Doraemon character for a children’s magazine called Shogakukan. At that time in 1996, Doraemon appeared in short story format.
2. Doraemon’s real name
Not many people know that the name Doraemon is not his real name. Before the name Doraemon was as popular as it is now, this character apparently had the name Toraemon, which when translated more or less means “tiger cat”.
However, because Tora (tiger) sounded too scary for children, the creator then changed the name to Doraemon as it is now.
3. Insert a moral message in each story
Doraemon comics and anime have been known to have funny and entertaining stories. However, not only are they entertaining, some of the stories in Doraemon comics also contain deep moral messages, such as the story “Nobita and the Lost Continent” which teaches about the importance of protecting the environment.
4. Doraemon Appointed as UNESCO Ambassador
Another interesting fact from the Doraemon comic is that in 2008, UNESCO officially made the robot cat character the “Ambassador of Japanese Culture”. With the title of ambassador, Doraemon is tasked with helping promote peace and friendship throughout the world.
5. Created by Two People
There are probably still many people who don’t know the figure of Fujiko F. Fujio, the creator of Doraemon. In fact, many people may not know that Fujiko F. Fujio is actually the pen name of two manga artists who created Doraemon, namely Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko.
However, on September 23 1996, Fujimoto Hiroshi died due to heart disease. Since then, Motoo Abiko has developed the Doraemon story alone.
