Nobita Nobi (Japanese: 野比 のび太, Hepburn: Nobi Nobita) is a fictional character and one of the main characters in the Doraemon anime and manga series created by Fujiko Fujio. Known as Sidney, Specky and Noby in some English localizations of the anime, Nobita is usually depicted as an elementary school student. The title character, Doraemon, is sent back in time by Nobita's future descendants to look after Nobita.
Along with Doraemon, Nobita is considered to be one of the most popular and widely recognizable manga characters due to the series' popularity, which extends beyond its native Japan. He received criticism for his amorality and lack of personal growth, deemed as a harmful role model to children.
