WHO IS CREATE DORAEMON

Doraemon was a comic book created in the late 70's in Japan by FujioFujiko (pen-name of two people) which featured the main characters you see above. It's about a bunch of fourth-graders living in a suburban part of Tokyo. The main character, Nobita (hands in the air above), is accompanied by a mechanical cat from the future, Doraemon. No, he's doesn't dance ballet.
If you haven't read this comic, you're missing out! Mickey Mouse and his buddies do not compare to Doraemon! Although intended for elementary-school students, this manga features characters with distinct personalities that anyone can relate to. That's more than could be said about much of the children's material today, and adult material for that matter. Imagination expressed in its themes and entities reaches far beyond that of any other comic or cartoon. While Doraemon is a reflection of Japanese culture in the 70's and 80's, it nonetheless appeals to general human culture, society, and morality.
Fortunately, in recent years they have reprinted Doraemon in 45 volumes, which include some new ones and some old ones. Also reprinted are 17 books of adventures, the first 15 of which were published before. The Hong Kong versions come in better-quality paper and translation (than the original Hong Kong publications), and contain more of the old stories than the Japanese reprints. The adventures are also made into cartoon movies.
I only recently acquired the 45th book of the Doraemon short stories (Hong Kong translation). This one is supposed to have been written only a few years ago. The art is not quite as good as the old ones, but the most dramatic difference is the content. The stories tend to be longer and the plots more confusing. The strong personalities seem to have left the characters, and these new stories seem to lack the universal appeal of classic Doraemon. Perhaps they still appeal to younger children, content-wise, but I have to say, altogether, this latest and last issue is uninteresting at best.
I have gathered some Doraemon pictures from various sites. Some of these pictures are great as wallpaper! If you have others, e-mail them to me, please. My favorite is the one featuring a big, flying Doraemon with others in the bunch riding on him. That's been my desktop wallpaper for 2 years now. Recently a company in Japan has created a 3D Doraemon "screen-mate," which features an excellent 3D modelling of Doraemon walking around on the Windows 95 desktop, performing various cute sequences at your command. It is done very well, and would be great as a screen saver if only it would loosen up on the computer's resources. I am uncertain of its copyright status so I am not keeping it on my server.

It's like sounds from childhood!
The doraeglen.mid in my directory was originally the doraemon.mid that's been floating around. I edited it a little bit to get rid of some things. Surely you'll know what these are. :) Both can be found through the link below.
