Nobita Nobi
Nobita Nobi (野比のび太 Nobi Nobita), or Noby Nobi in the English dub, is the main protagonist in virtually most stories of the series along with Doraemon. He was born on 7 August, thus having the sun sign Leo. He is a fourth grader (fifth grader in anime version) in Tokyo's Nerima Ward and the only child of Nobisuke and Tamako Nobi.
Character
Throughout the series Nobita is mostly shown to be very dependent on Doraemon. He begs Doraemon for many things, such as gadgets allowing him to have vengeance on his bullish friends - Gian and Suneo, and something better for show-off after listening to Suneo brag about his trips to Hawaii, the exclusive games he possesses, and privileges he enjoys.
As seen throughout the series, there are a lot of weaknesses which plague Nobita, but he has just as many positives. He is hopeless at swimming (a common topic of ridicule from his friends except for Shizuka), despite being taught once how to swim, and was once provided with an imagination pill to make him think that he was in a swimming pool. However, he imagined a preschool pool at which he accidentally stepped on a child's foot. He never really manages to swim and always has to use a floater. His inability to swim almost proved to be fatal in Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas as he nearly drowned when the ship he was travelling in was wrecked, and Gian failed to hold onto his hand. However, he was swiftly rescued by the Time Patrol Dolphin, Ruffin. In one of his dreams, he, as a genius, successfully produced a rocket to Mars in his bedroom. Both events show Nobita's amazing talent at thinking outside the box.
