Abstract
This paper aims to use the manga series Doraemon (Tentomushi Comics, published by Shogakukan Inc.) to study from a clinical psychological perspective the growth of Nobita, who is the main character and the forms of assistance provided by Doraemon, who supported him. As subjects of analysis, we have selected Volume 1, Episode 1, “All the way from the future,” and Volume 6, “Goodbye, Doraemon,” which was reportedly intended to serve as the final episode. Before meeting Doraemon, Nobita was poor in both schoolwork and sports, failing miserably in everything he did. He had lost all confidence and was daydreaming his life away. However, in Chapter 6 Nobita challenges the bigger and stronger Gian to a fight and defeats him on his own. He determines to live proactively despite missing his friend Doraemon. What role did Doraemon play in supporting these changes? We believe that interpreting this question from a clinical psychology perspective will help support the many Nobita-type characters we see around us.
