Besides Doraemon, what other cat-type robots make up the Doraemon Seven?
Oh, speaking of Doraemon's Seven Great Companions, that's a classic childhood memory for our generation! Besides the Doraemon we all know best, the other six members each have their own unique traits and are incredibly interesting. They were actually Doraemon's classmates and best friends at the robot school, with each representing the cultural characteristics of a different country.
They stay connected using a gadget called the "Friend Communication Card". Whenever a friend is in danger, the card glows, allowing everyone to rush to help immediately.
Here's an introduction to the other six members besides Doraemon:
1. Dora-the-Kid
<!-- Placeholder for a visual idea -->- Represents: USA
- Appearance: A Wild West gunslinger wearing a cowboy hat.
- Characteristics: His weapon is an air cannon on his hand, and he's an extremely accurate shot. He has a somewhat impatient personality but is fiercely loyal. He's the sharpshooter of the group. Think of him as the Doraemon version of a "Wild West cowboy".
- Fun Fact: He fears nothing... except heights! He has severe acrophobia. Also, he and Doraemon's sister, Dorami, are a couple!
2. Wang Dora
<!-- Placeholder for a visual idea -->- Represents: China
- Appearance: Wears traditional Qing dynasty attire (red) and is a scholar skilled in Chinese martial arts.
- Characteristics: He's the brainiac of the group, incredibly knowledgeable and a master of martial arts, especially leg techniques. He's very serious and polite.
- Fun Fact: Despite being both scholarly and martial, he has a fatal flaw – he's deathly afraid of girls! The sight of a girl makes him blush, his heart race, and leaves him flustered.
3. El Matadora
<!-- Placeholder for a visual idea -->- Represents: Spain
- Appearance: A handsome Spanish matador.
- Characteristics: He's the physically strongest of the seven, known as the "King of Strength". He usually seems lazy and loves taking naps (much like Nobita), but he becomes incredibly reliable when fighting for justice or protecting the weak. His weapon is a "Defense Cape" that can block any attack.
- Fun Fact: He works part-time at a Japanese beef bowl restaurant and loves eating. When angry or serious, he transforms into a form called the "Miracle Bull".
4. Dora-med III
<!-- Placeholder for a visual idea -->- Represents: Arabia (Saudi Arabia)
- Appearance: Dressed in Arabian attire, resembling a genie from One Thousand and One Nights.
- Characteristics: He uses tarot cards and magic and often rides a flying carpet. He has a very calm and kind personality, always eager to help.
- Fun Fact: He's usually gentle, but the moment he touches water, he becomes gigantic like he's been electrified and goes berserk – it's terrifying!
5. Dora-nichov
<!-- Placeholder for a visual idea -->- Represents: Russia
- Appearance: Always wears a thick scarf; a silent "werewolf".
- Characteristics: He's the "lone wolf" of the group, rarely speaking and only making sounds like "woo" or "awoo". However, he's very kind-hearted and loves eating dorayaki.
- Fun Fact: He has a unique transformation ability: whenever he sees something round (like the moon, a watermelon, or even Doraemon's head), he turns into a ferocious werewolf!
6. Dora-rinho
<!-- Placeholder for a visual idea -->- Represents: Brazil
- Appearance: A sunny boy who loves soccer.
- Characteristics: He's the star striker for the Brazilian youth soccer team, the fastest of the seven, with incredible footwork. He has an innocent, cheerful personality and is always full of energy.
- Fun Fact: His biggest flaw is being extremely forgetful! To compensate, he keeps a bunch of miniature "Mini-Doras" in his 4D pocket to remind him of things, but it doesn't seem to work very well.
In summary, Doraemon's Seven Great Companions are a superhero squad made up of cat-shaped robots from all over the world, each with distinct personalities. While they don't appear often in the main storyline, their adventures in special episodes and movies are absolutely fantastic!
