Ich is a dog character from "Doraemon."
He first appeared in Volume 22 of the manga in the story "The Country of the Stray Dog 'Ich'."
His name "Ich" comes from the way Nobita Nobi heard his bark, "Wan," which sounds like "one."
In the movie "Nobita in the Wan-Nyan Space-Time Odyssey," Ich is a guest character and becomes the president of the country of dogs and cats.
His appearance changes depending on the version, but most people recognize him in his main form as seen in the comics and fan images.
Doraemon is the main character of the manga "Doraemon" by Fujiko F. Fujio and its anime adaptation, and he is an iconic figure in Japanese culture. He’s a blue, robotic, cat-like being from the 22nd century, who comes to the present day to help change the unfortunate fate of Nobita Nobi, becoming his trusted friend. With a vast array of gadgets from his “four-dimensional pocket,” Doraemon can solve nearly any problem, though his clumsy side and love for dorayaki (sweet bean cakes) often lead to comedic chaos. Despite his advanced functions, Doraemon is deeply emotional and relatable, getting scared by mice and comforted by friends, making him an irreplaceable character in many hearts.
## Appearance
Ich’s breed looks different in each of his appearances.
He is usually shown as a medium-sized, friendly-looking dog.
When he evolves in the story, he turns into a dog-person and grows older by the end.
Doraemon is a blue, cat-shaped robot standing 129.3 cm tall and weighing 129.3 kg.
He has a power rating of 129.3 horsepower, a seated height of 100 cm, and both his head circumference and chest measure 129.3 cm.
Although described as 129.3 cm tall, in both the manga and anime, he is typically depicted as just slightly shorter than Nobita Nobi, about 100 cm.
His body is round and blue with a white stomach, face, and paws.
He lacks cat ears, has a round red nose, large expressive eyes, and black “radar” whiskers that can detect objects, though they are often broken.
His red collar features a “Cat Gathering Bell” (usually broken), and he has a small red tail that functions as an on-off switch.
His hands are round “Peta Hands” able to grip anything, and his legs are short, allowing a bit of floating due to anti-gravity devices.
Doraemon was originally yellow and had ears but lost them after being bitten by a mouse robot. His crying shock turned him blue—a story revised over time across various media.
He is durable, waterproof, and can survive harsh environments such as space, underwater, or extreme heat.
Despite being a robot, he displays natural facial expressions, sweats, cries, and sometimes blushes.
## Personality
Ich is loyal and loves Nobita Nobi.
He is brave, friendly, and cares a lot about his friends.
Even when he is scared of water, he will risk himself to protect others.
Doraemon is cheerful, friendly, and childlike but easily flustered, especially under pressure.
He acts as a guardian and companion to Nobita Nobi, usually being supportive but also quick to tease, with sharp (but often well-meaning) remarks about Nobita’s shortcomings.
He often lectures Nobita on effort, self-reliance, and not relying excessively on gadgets, though he can be just as guilty of these faults.
Doraemon loves to relax and play with toys, nap, and hang out with cats in the neighborhood.
He easily falls in love with cute female cats (or robots) and is surprisingly shy, especially about his appearance, showing insecurity when mistaken for a raccoon (his most hated word).
He can be a bit jealous when it comes to his sister, Dorami.
Doraemon is also a devoted fan of idols and enjoys collecting their merchandise.
He is hardworking but a bit careless, losing gadgets or failing to find the right one in urgent situations.
He is famous for his love of dorayaki, losing self-control around them and going so far as to work for or invent things just to get more.
## Background
Ich starts out as a stray dog.
He follows Nobita Nobi after being treated kindly.
Nobita tries to keep him as a pet, even though Tamako Nobi does not like animals in the house.
Doraemon was manufactured at the Tokyo Matsushiba Robot Factory in the 22nd century as one of many mass-produced cat-type robots, with the serial number MS-903 in some versions.
He was originally built as a caretaker friend for Sewashi Nobi, Nobita’s descendent, but sent back in time to improve Nobita’s life and, consequently, that of his descendants.
Doraemon often partners with Nobita and their friends to face challenges and adventures both in the present and through time-travel.
He has a younger sister, Dorami, who is also a cat-type robot, currently taking care of Sewashi in the future.
Doraemon’s “job title” as a “Supervisor for Children with Weak Willpower” is a joke from a magazine Q&A and is not found in any official work.
## Abilities
Ich has no supernatural abilities at first.
Later, he gets turned into a dog-person with Doraemon’s gadgets.
He learns things quickly, like how to play with a kendama toy or use a time machine.
### Body Features
Doraemon is equipped with a four-dimensional pocket where he stores countless futuristic gadgets.
His internal reactor digests food for fuel, and he little by little turns all he eats into energy. In some animations, he is also charged by solar panels.
He does not need to use the toilet but pretends to teach children good manners.
His hands can grip anything with “Peta Hands,” and his feet have anti-gravity systems allowing him to float a few millimeters above the ground and walk quietly (though this function is sometimes broken).
He has incredible strength (129.3 horsepower), lifting and throwing objects several hundred times his own weight with ease.
His “radar” whiskers and nose possess special detection abilities, but these are frequently out of order.
His eyes are “infrared” and can see in complete darkness, and his ears (now lost) were “sonar machines.”
### Gadget Master
Doraemon’s most famous ability is to retrieve unique, often one-use, gadgets from his four-dimensional pocket. These range from “Anywhere Door” and “Time Machine” to playful or mischievous inventions.
He is able to repair simple gadgets and perform impressive calculations, though sometimes he gets them wrong or relies on calculators.
He can operate vehicles, tools, and other machinery, from cars to complex space gadgets.
In emergencies, even without gadgets, Doraemon displays great physical ability, quick reflexes, and sometimes superior marksmanship—even outperforming Nobita Nobi (known for his shooting skills) in certain scenarios.
### Durability
His robotic body is highly resilient—surviving falls, impacts, extreme environments, and even acid or electrical attacks.
The only consistent weakness is his fear of mice, a phobia arising from losing his ears to a mouse-like robot.
### Special Skills
He can communicate with cats naturally. Occasionally, he also understands other animals or people without using translation gadgets.
He is good at impersonating Suneo Honekawa’s face and sometimes gives accurate explanations about science or history topics.
## Relationships
Ich is closest to Nobita Nobi, who cares for him.
He also makes many friends with other stray dogs and cats.
He works together with Doraemon and the group.
### With Nobita Nobi
He is Nobita Nobi’s closest friend, mentor, and often a source of both encouragement and gentle ridicule. While Nobita’s parents trust Doraemon, their relationship is usually that of equals (with plenty of bickering).
### With Other Characters
Doraemon is trusted by Nobita’s parents and frequently helps or plays with Nobita’s close circle: Shizuka Minamoto, Takeshi Goda (Gian), and Suneo Honekawa.
He has a close sibling relationship with Dorami, who takes up his caretaker role in the future.
He is social and gets along with most cats in the neighborhood, including various female cat companions (Tama, Mi-chan). He is also the leader in “The Doraemons” spinoff.
### Love Life
Doraemon is known to be infatuated with many cute female cats (and sometimes humans or robot girls). He is easily crushed by romantic setbacks but always wishes for the happiness of those he loves.
## Trivia
- Doraemon’s most hated word is “raccoon”—anyone calling him this gets a strong reaction.
- His favorite food is dorayaki, and he becomes irrational in pursuit of them.
- He often sleeps in the closet of Nobita’s room, which is customized as his private space.
- He’s afraid of all rodents, including mice, hamsters, and even sometimes chipmunks or capybaras.
- Despite being a robot, he sweats, cries, gets insect bites, and even becomes intoxicated by catnip.
- In the American release, references to “raccoon” get replaced with “seal” for localization.
## Quotes
"So, I was Ich after all."
- “I’m not a raccoon! I’m a robot cat!”
- “If you want something, work for it!”
- “Nobita, you can’t always rely on gadgets!”
- “Dorayaki is the best!”
