Doraemon (ドラえもん) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Fujiko F.
Fujio [ja]. First serialized in 1969, the manga's chapters were collected in
45 tankōbon volumes published by Shogakukan from 1974 to 1996. The story revolves
around an earless robotic cat named Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd
century to assist a boy named Nobita Nobi in his day-to-day life.
The manga spawned a media franchise. It was adapted into three different anime TV series
in 1973, 1979, and 2005. Additionally, Shin-Ei Animation has produced over forty animated
films, including two 3D computer-animated films, all of which are distributed by Toho.
Various types of merchandise and media have been developed, including soundtrack
albums, video games, and musicals. The manga series was licensed for an English language
release in North America, via Amazon Kindle, through a collaboration of Fujiko F. Fujio Pro
with Voyager Japan and AltJapan Co., Ltd. The anime series was licensed by Disney for an
English-language release in North America in 2014, and LUK International in Europe, the
Middle East and Africa.
