Nobita Nobi is a fourth‑grade student in Tokyo. One day a round, blue, cat‑like robot, minus its ears, appears in the drawer of his desk. Doraemon, Nobita’s great‑great‑grandson from the 22nd century, has been sent back to the past to prevent the mistakes that have plunged his family into poverty. Though Nobita is the weakest and least intelligent child in his class, Doraemon possesses a four‑dimensional pocket on his front that holds an array of futuristic gadgets. With these inventions, Doraemon attempts to help Nobita navigate life, but Nobita’s habit of misusing the gadgets often leads to unintended consequences.
