Suneo Honekawa is a slender, petite fourth-grader with sharp black eyes, jet-black hair, and a distinctively angular, fox-like face resembling his mother’s. His typical outfit—a green shirt paired with brown trousers—reinforces his association with earthy tones. Benefiting from familial wealth, he enjoys a monthly allowance of ¥5000, which he splurges on trendy toys, electronics, and comic books, deliberately showcasing these acquisitions to incite jealousy, especially in Nobita. His personality merges vanity, shrewdness, and overconfidence, frequently fixating on his looks and loudly proclaiming himself the epitome of handsomeness. He amplifies his self-importance by boasting about his father’s corporate presidency, envisioning himself as the future heir to the family enterprise.
Though he partners with Gian to torment Nobita, Suneo harbors a conflicted conscience, occasionally revealing unexpected compassion—sharing snacks or comics with Nobita after escaping Gian’s domineering behavior. His dynamic with Gian hinges on calculated flattery to sidestep physical altercations or redirect blame, yet he displays fierce loyalty during perilous situations, courageously defending friends in danger.
Academically average with an IQ of 83, he shines in science, artistic endeavors, and design, impressing Shizuka with his creative talent. Privately, he grapples with insecurities, concealing a bed-wetting habit as a source of shame and fretting over his short stature. His family comprises a lenient mother, a seldom-mentioned corporate-executive father, a younger brother residing in New York, and a grandmother who instills traditional values.
Within peer groups, he routinely invents reasons to exclude Nobita—citing cramped spaces—though Shizuka often compels his inclusion. As a Giants baseball team member, he marginally surpasses Nobita’s athletic skills despite limited prowess. Environmentally irresponsible, he once attempted ocean garbage dumping and exhibited callousness toward animals.
His rivalry with Doraemon centers on competing for advanced gadgets, though he begrudgingly admires the robot’s ingenuity. Clever strategizing defines episodes where he orchestrates schemes to outsmart Gian or recover seized items. When overwhelmed by humiliation or distress, his vulnerability surfaces through tearful calls for his mother.
