Takeshi "Gian" Gōda stands as a primary character in the Doraemon franchise. Physically powerful and quick-tempered, Gian routinely bullies classmates, especially Nobita Nobi, seizing toys or books under the guise of "borrowing." He displays domineering behavior and immense self-confidence, particularly regarding his terrible singing voice, which he considers exceptional. He compels neighborhood children to endure his horrendous singing recitals, sometimes featuring his equally poor cooking or fashion sense. Gian founded and captains a baseball team bearing his name. Despite consistently blaming Nobita for losses against rivals like the "Tyranos," he and Suneo keep Nobita on the roster due to a lack of players. While prone to aggression, Gian possesses fierce loyalty, vividly displayed during perilous moments in feature films where he unhesitatingly protects Nobita and friends. Family dynamics profoundly shape Gian's actions. He adores his younger sister, Jaiko, and lives in terror of his mother, who operates the local grocery store. Nobita and Doraemon occasionally exploit this fear. Moments of self-awareness occasionally pierce Gian's bravado, such as when he questions his unpopularity after friends skip his birthday. Following Doraemon's criticism of his behavior, he attempts self-improvement; however, these efforts typically collapse when peers mock his unnatural gentleness, reigniting his temper. In the film "Doraemon: What Am I for Momotaro," Gian embodies the pheasant in a comedic Momotaro folktale retelling alongside Nobita (as Momotaro and his parallels), Suneo (the dog), and Shizuka (the monkey). The group argues over heroism en route to Demon Island, only to find the demons already defeated by Doraemon's character, Dorataro. The animals subsequently abandon the human characters to follow Dorataro. Gian's background includes sporadic reflections on his conduct, yet his core traits of bullying and bravado persist across media. His complexity stems from the contrast between his abrasive personality and genuine protective instincts toward friends in crises.
