TV Special
Description
Suneo Honekawa serves as a central deuteragonist throughout the Doraemon franchise, appearing in most episodes, chapters, and films. He is a short, thin boy with fox-like facial features inherited from his mother, black hair, and large black eyes.
Born into an affluent family, Suneo benefits from his father's position as a successful company director, which grants access to exclusive items and experiences. His monthly allowance of ¥5000 funds expensive toys, gadgets, and comics. He frequently flaunts these possessions to provoke envy, particularly in Nobita, often sparking stories through such displays. His family includes an indulgent mother, a younger brother named Sunetsugu living abroad, a grandmother who shares folk wisdom, and a wealthy cousin called Sunekichi.
Personality-wise, Suneo exhibits narcissism, often admiring his reflection while proclaiming himself handsome. He displays arrogance, cunning, and sadistic tendencies, especially when belittling Nobita or excluding him with weak excuses. Beneath this lies deep insecurity about his height as the shortest in his class, a humiliating bed-wetting habit, and occasional cowardice. He possesses artistic, design, and scientific talents, strategically using flattery to manipulate others, particularly Gian.
His relationships reveal complexity. With Gian, Suneo acts as a submissive sidekick, coerced into bullying Nobita or providing homework. Though outwardly praising Gian, he privately resents the intimidation and occasionally rebels using Doraemon’s gadgets. Toward Nobita, he alternates between rivalry and reluctant friendship—mocking him but sometimes showing guilt or kindness, like sharing comics after Nobita's help. He respects Shizuka, inviting her to events and valuing her admiration for his art. With Doraemon, he maintains friendliness, occasionally coveting gadgets but generally accepting their bond.
During group crises, Suneo demonstrates unexpected bravery and loyalty, prioritizing friends' safety over self-interest. Yet he also exhibits environmental carelessness—like attempting ocean dumping—and cruelty toward animals. Fleeting moments of introspection and regret emerge, especially when witnessing Nobita’s suffering.
