Doraemon props

Doraemon’s props are the character “Doraemon” from Fujiko F. Fujio’s comics and animation “Doraemon”. Items taken out of the "fourth-dimensional pocket" on the abdomen (secret items).

Fujiko F. Fujio himself was once asked by a child the number of Doraemon props, and he immediately answered "1293" (1293 is Doraemon's magic number). However, Professor Yasuyuki Yokoyama of the Department of Education at Toyama University in Japan found that based on all the works in single volumes and magazines, the total number of props was 1,963. On January 31, 2006, Japan's TV Asahi program Matthew's Best Hit TV+ counted 2,100 props in animations broadcast on TV.

The difference between the original work and the animation is that many props whose names are unknown in the original work can be found in the animation and the prop encyclopedia published by Shogakukan. Some props have different names in the original work and the animation. The reasons are mostly due to factors such as historical background or trademark. In addition, due to the number of pages in the original work, some plots or prop usage were not clearly explained, and the animated version has supplemented and modified these. For example, the weaknesses of certain props will be supplemented. The explanation in the original work is a bit unreasonable, but the animated version changes the method of tools reasonably. In some animated versions, the names and designs of props will be boldly changed. This can be clearly seen in the middle to late animation of the Oyama Kendai version.
