DORAEMON,
one of the most beloved character properties worldwide, originated as
a manga (graphic novel) series created by Fujiko F. Fujio in 1970. It
later became a popular anime series and product franchise in Japan
that continues to be a smash hit worldwide, especially in Asia. The
comedy series depicts the adventures of Doraemon, a blue cat-type
robot from the 22nd
century, who travels back in time to help a boy named Noby by using
various secret gadgets procured from his Four-Dimensional Pocket.
Episodes often involve lessons for young viewers about honesty,
cooperation, courage, and respect.
DORAEMON
marks its 45th
Anniversary in 2015 and continues to be a major worldwide franchise
with over $500 million in annual global retail sales and over 600
active licensees. Over 140 million copies of the manga have been
published. DORAEMON also holds the largest box office attendance
record in Japan of any movie franchise, toppling Godzilla,
with 34 feature films released to-date and over 100 million tickets
sold last year alone. The property’s first 3D feature film, Stand
By Me Doraemon, is set for
release in Japan in August. The Doraemon character is also Tokyo’s
bid to act as its Special Ambassador for the 2020 Olympic and
Paralympic Games.
