Synopsis
Noby's life is changed forever the day Doraemon—a "cat-type robot" from the 22nd century—pops out of a time portal in Noby's top desk drawer. Doraemon has been sent back in time by Noby's great-great grandson Soby to change Noby's legendarily tragic life for the better, and thus improve the life of all his descendants. Unfortunately, underachiever Noby seems to cause a great deal of his own misfortune, and the addition of an endless supply of futuristic gadgets from Doraemon's "4th-Dimensional Secret Gadget Pocket" usually creates even more trouble!
Characters
- Doraemon is a "cat-type" robot, "born" on September 3rd, 2112, and sent back in time to protect and assist Noby, and generally make sure his legendarily tragic life turns out for the better. To help him in this effort, Doraemon can produce an infinite array of futuristic secret gadgets from the 4th-Dimensional Secret Gadget Pocket on his tummy. Unfortunately, Noby's propensity for misusing these gadgets—combined with Doraemon's occasional lapses in judgment—usually causes even more trouble.
- Noby is a 10-year-old, lazy, uncoordinated, and a terrible student... but at least his heart is in the right place. When his great-great grandson Soby arrives from the future and tells him about the misfortunes awaiting him later in life, Noby resolves to change his ways in hopes of making things turn out better for him and his descendants. With Doraemon's help, Noby tries his best... but it's an uphill struggle, and life with a gadget-carrying robot cat from the future is fraught with temptation! Noby himself often comically laments, "Why do I make such poor choices?"
- Sue is a popular girl in Noby's school. One of Noby's best friends, she sees beyond his shortcomings and is quick to come to his defense. When she's not studying or playing sports, she can usually be found practicing violin... and boy, does she need practice!
- Big G plays a little rough, and some might even call him a bully, but deep down, Big G is a simple guy with a big heart. He harbors a not-so-secret passion to be a great singer, and doesn't let his complete lack of talent stop him... much to the dismay of his friends and neighbors! He is intensely protective of his sister, Little G, but terrified of his strong-willed mother.
- Sneech is well-spoken, artistic, and above all, extremely proud of his family's wealth. He's constantly showing off the very latest toy or video game that he's acquired, usually before it's even available in stores. Secretly a bit insecure about his height, Sneech dreams of being a singing idol and a movie star. Not that he has any interest in singing or acting, mind you. He just wants public adoration and fame to match his fortune.
- Tammy is Noby's bespectacled, stay-at-home mother, and the one Noby inherits his appearance from. She can be extremely strict and she is often seen scolding Noby for his actions, such as failing the exam, playing all day instead of studying, being lazy all day, or doing something stupid. Sometimes she goes too far leading Noby in several episodes trying to avoid his mother's scolding by using Doraemon's gadgets.
- Toby is Noby's father and laid-back salaryman. He appears to be an easy-going father, often seen arriving home from work to soothe Tammy's anger towards Noby. He has trouble quitting smoking and is self-conscious about his inability to pass the driving test. He also has a poor memory. He likes to drink, and sometimes arrives home drunk from nightly business meetings. Toby often goes to golf which most Japanese businessmen and employees play.
- Dorami is Doraemon's younger sister, and thus also a robot cat like him. She only appears in "Doraemon Squared"
- Soby is the great-great-grandson of Noby. He came to the present world to help Doraemon to help Noby with his future problems.
- Ace Goody is Noby's classmate and friendly rival as he is a good friend of Sue's. He is very intelligent and has a photographic memory. Ace is the perfect all-round student, consistently getting A+'s in class and also being highly capable in sports.
- Little G is Big G's younger sister, and also the only child Big G treats well in the whole story, and Little G too loves her elder brother. In earlier stories, she had bad tempers when something did not go as she pleases, though she mellows down in later stories.
- Mr. S is a strict unnamed teacher at Noby's school who often scolds Noby for not completing his homework, arriving late at school, forgetting his homework, falling asleep during class, and getting worse marks on his tests.
- Sneech's Mom is a fox-faced woman from whom Sneech himself has inherited his physical traits. She can often be seen with expensive jewelry, and she likes to spoil Sneech and give him things without thinking whether it is good for him or bad for him.
- Big G's Mom is the owner of a small but successful store, "Goda's Goods"
- Big G's Dad is a large-sized man with a crew cut.
- Mr. Rumbleton is an old man living next to the Empty Lot where Noby and his friends play. Often the glass of Mr. Rumbleton's windows are broken by their baseballs and footballs.
