What is the name of Doraemon's girlfriend cat?
Hello! The question about Doraemon's girlfriend is actually a bit more complex than it seems, because his girlfriend varies across different story settings. But don't worry, I'll straighten it out for you.
Simply put, the most common girlfriend now is: Mii-chan
If you're watching the current Doraemon anime on TV, the cute little white female cat that Doraemon often goes on dates with is Mii-chan.
- Identity: An ordinary housecat living in the present day (near Nobita's house).
- Relationship: She's Doraemon's girlfriend in the present era. They often chat, sing, and go on dates together on rooftops, and have a very close relationship.
- Features: Extremely cute, usually wears a pink or red ribbon around her neck.
So, if you ask a child today, the answer they'll likely give you is "Mii-chan".
However, Doraemon actually has a "first love": Noramyako
In Doraemon's "origin" story, when he was still at the Robot School in the 22nd century, his girlfriend at the time was Noramyako.
- Identity: Like Doraemon, she is a cat-type robot and was the school beauty at the Robot School.
- Relationship: She was Doraemon's first love. However, their relationship had some ups and downs. The most classic story is: After Doraemon's ears were bitten off by mice, he went to the hospital for treatment but had an accident that left him bald. He cried so hard that his yellow paint wore off, turning him into the blue color we see now. When Noramyako saw him like this, she couldn't help but laugh, which deeply hurt Doraemon's pride.
- Origin: This story mainly appears in the 1995 short film The Birth of Doraemon (2112: The Birth of Doraemon), which is the officially recognized background story of Doraemon.
Fun Fact: In later stories, Noramyako actually apologized to Doraemon, saying she wasn't laughing at him for losing his ears, but rather thought his bald head looked cute—round and smooth. They essentially reconciled.
To summarize
For clarity, here's a simple comparison:
| Feature | Mii-chan | Noramyako |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Real cat | Cat-type robot |
| Era | Present (Nobita's time) | 22nd century (Doraemon's hometown) |
| Relationship | Current girlfriend, frequent dates | First love, classmate |
| Appearance | White kitten with a ribbon | Originally a tall dancing robot; later design closer to Doraemon's build |
So, the simple answer is:
- His current girlfriend is "Mii-chan".
- His first love from the future is "Noramyako".
Hope this explanation helps! Doraemon's stories are full of fun little details like this, and learning about them makes it even more interesting.
