Nobita Nobi

Nobita Nobi (Japanese 野比 のび太), is one of the main characters of the series and the center of the story. He is a fourth grader in Tokyo's Nerima Ward and an only child. He wears glasses, a red or yellow polo shirt with a white collar, and blue shorts. He is the subject of Doraemon's arrival to the 20th century.

Performance in the Manga
Before he met Doraemon, Nobita was living in a boring and yet, miserable life with his parents, following from school with 0 score test papers and a major dose of homework. One day, the day focused by the first chapter, Doraemon pops out of Nobita's desk when he was 'doing' homework, and he is heavily confused by what is happening. That was just the start.

Despite everything, Doraemon succeeds on his mission, as seen in several episodes in which they travel to the future and the short Nobita's the Night before a Wedding. Nobita eventually marries Shizuka and has a son who, in a generational role reversal, bullies Gian's son.

Appearance and Abilities
Nobita's character flaws are endless: he is lazy, uncoordinated, dim-witted, frail, plain-looking, unlucky, and bad at sports. Nobita's typical day consists of arriving late on classes, scoring zeros in his tests, getting lectured by his teacher, being bullied by his classmates Gian and Suneo, falling into curbside rain gutters, being chased by dogs, and getting scolded by his mom for his sloth and poor academic results. In almost every frame that features him, Nobita is seen with glasses, red or yellow polo shirt with a hint of white on his collar and blue shorts.

Despite his flaws, Nobita possesses some unique talents such as his unrivaled marksmanship and ability to weave intricate string figures. Although Nobita is usually portrayed as being cowardly, he has often risked his life to help save others or even entire civilizations (as seen in full-length stories). Nobita is lazy and unmotivated, but he can be very serious and responsible at time. Nobita also has a talent for finding unusual applications for Doraemon's gadgets, and to abuse them, which usually gets him into trouble.
