Movie
Description
Nobisuke Nobi, father of Nobita, features across Doraemon media. His childhood unfolded in World War II Japan, characterized by hardship and labor. A pivotal moment involved a suicide attempt by drowning, thwarted when Nobita and Doraemon traveled back via time machine; Nobita, disguised as a young girl, offered chocolate to comfort him.
As a youth, Nobisuke demonstrated artistic talent, drawing an offer from a wealthy man to support his art in exchange for marrying the man's daughter, Kaniko Kanimitsu. Nobisuke declined, leading to his expulsion. During this period, he met and later married Tamako Kataoka, starting a family. They named their son Nobita.
Adulthood finds Nobisuke employed as a salaryman in a typical Japanese firm. His hobbies include golf and fishing, and he occasionally smokes (a detail sometimes censored in regional manga releases). A recurring trait is his poor driving ability, resulting in repeated failures to obtain a driver's license.
Personality-wise, he shares Nobita's lack of athletic prowess but exhibits greater tolerance toward his son compared to Tamako. He demonstrates concern for Nobita's development and achievements, with his comments significantly impacting Nobita emotionally. An adventurous spirit and curiosity sometimes lead the family to worry, occasionally requiring Doraemon's gadgets for protection. Nobisuke shows emotional understanding, notably consoling Nobita facing Doraemon's potential departure.
Family relationships are central: he is husband to Tamako Nobi, father to Nobita Nobi, and future father-in-law to Shizuka Minamoto. His grandson bears his name, Nobisuke. He has a younger brother, Nobirou Nobi, known for athletic excellence and supportive nature. During his own childhood, his father (Nobita's grandfather) enforced strict discipline, while his mother (Nobita's grandmother) provided kindness.
In "Doraemon: Boku no Umareta Hi" (2002 movie), Nobisuke's role centers on Nobita's birth. When Nobita travels back doubting his parentage, he and Doraemon witness Nobisuke's anxious yet joyful reactions at the hospital. Nobisuke nervously awaits news, then expresses profound relief and happiness upon learning of Tamako's safe delivery and Nobita's birth. His emotional support for Tamako during childbirth and immediate attachment to his newborn son are key narrative elements.
