Nobita is a fourth grader, born on 7, August, and the only child to his parents. Nobita’s character flaws are endless: he is lazy, uncoordinated, dim-witted, frail, plain-looking, unlucky, and bad at sports. However, those flaws we can relate ourselves to him greatly among the other Doraemon main characters.
The protagonist of the story, a young, loser boy who is always at an end of school bully, jealousy, or his own’s selfishness, and have always relies on Doraemon’s gadget as his solution to a problem rather than improving himself. However, he is notably more kind and heroic than the rest of the gang when the situation calls for it.
He used to live with his grandmother, who she was really kind and loved him. This is very opposite of his mother, who is very strict to Nobita.
Beaten by Giant, scolded by the teacher and by his mother, bitten by a dog and fell into a ditch, which is an ordinary day of Nobita. What’s good about him is, again, his kindness. That’s the reason why Doraemon had befriended him despite all the flaws he has.
One of his good points is that he doesn’t linger on the past. Once his grandmother gave Nobita a Daruma doll as a gift, telling to stand up again with his might, even he takes a tumble like a Daruma doll. Nobita promised her that he would be that strong to his grandmother.
He is good at making string figures and surprisingly enough, Nobita is excellent at shooting which fought off the enemy. Other talents worth mentioning to him is he can sleep within a second. According to him, the knack of falling asleep in a second is to empty your mind. Sounds like Zen here.
Nobita is definitely the one with richest personality holding the opposite qualities among other Doraemon main characters.
