Nobi family

Tamako Nobi (野比 玉子 Nobi Tamako^?)

Voice actors: Noriko Ohara (1973), Sachiko Chijimatsu (1979~March 2005), Kotono Mitsuishi (April 2005~)

Voice actor (Young): Tomoko Kawakami

Tamako (born on 16 February), is Nobita's stay-at-home mother and the series main antagonist, and the one Nobita inherits his appearance from. She can be very strict, is usually seen scolding Nobita, grounding him, or sending him out of the house (a typical Japanese household punishment used by parents). She is disappointed by his lazy attitude and academic failures. Several episodes involve Nobita trying to avoid his mother’s scolding by using Doraemon’s gadgets. Her maiden last name is revealed to be Kataoka (片岡^?). She has a tendency of stopping Nobita from going out to play and force him to study. However, on cold weather days, she almost always urges Nobita to go out and play. In a couple of episodes, Nobita sees her in the past, and she shows to be braver than Nobita.

Nobisuke Nobi (野比 のび助 Nobi Nobisuke^?)

Voice actors: Ichirō Murakoshi (1973), Masayuki Katō (1979~October 1992), Yōsuke Naka (October 1992~March 2005), Yasunori Matsumoto (April 2005~)

Voice actors (Young): Noriko Ohara (1979), Eiko Yamada (1984~1985), Noriko Ohara (1987), Yumiko Kobayashi (2005)

Nobisuke (born on 12 March), is Nobita's father and laid-back salaryman. He is considerate of Nobita, often seen arriving home from work to placate Tamako's anger towards Nobita. He has trouble quitting smoking and is self-conscious about his inability to pass the driving test. He also has a poor memory, is a borderline alcoholic, and sometimes arrives home drunk from nightly business meetings. He often goes golf, which most Japanese businessmen and employees play. He shared many similar personalities with Nobita when he was young: got bad grades, got bullied and scolded by his father. He has a talent of art, but didn't choose to be an artist due to many reasons.

Sewashi (セワシ^?)

Voice actors: Keiko Yamamoto (1973), Yoshiko Ōta (1980~March 2005), Sachi Matsumoto (August 2005)

Nobita's great-great-grandson, he is the one who sends Doraemon back to the past to look after Nobita. Sewashi first bought Doraemon in 2112 when Doraemon still had ears and his original factory paint. He sent him because his pocket money was not much due to the debts the family inherited from Nobita. He shows to have more common sense and smarter than Nobita. Sewashi
