Doraemon, a robotic cosmic cat.
Doraemon can take out various devices known as dōgu (gadget) from his fourth-dimensional pocket. Some of the gadgets are based on real Japanese household devices with fanciful twists, while most are gadgets which are completely science fiction, including gadgets used to affect the outcome of fights on television or walk on clouds.
Thousands of dōgu have been featured in Doraemon. Some have placed the estimation at approximately 4,500 different dōgu used in Doraemon.
Recurring Dōgu
Time Machine
Fourth-dimentional pocket
The inside of pocket connects to the fourth dimension and acts like a wormhole. It is usually shown attached to Doraemon's abdomen. Some stories show Doraemon having a spare pocket which connects to the same location.
Time machine
The exit of Doraemon's time machine is in Nobita's desk drawer. The time machine looks like a simple platform with a control console, and a clock with five hands overhanging the console. Doraemon is often seen piloting the time machine. Dorami has her own time machine shaped like a tulip, suggesting a variety of models available in the future. The time machine can create an exit in a specific place spatially as well as temporally. An alternative time machine is the time belt, which does not change the wearer's location relative to Earth.
Take-copter
One of the main modes of transportation for the various characters is the take-copter. The device is a propeller attached to a tiny suction cup which can be attached to enable flight. Ever since the first few Doraemon stories, the take-copter is seen attached to the head instead of the waist, similar to a propeller beanie, due to a mishap with Nobita's shorts. The take-copter has also been attached to objects to enable its flight.
Moshimo-box
The moshimo-box is a pun based on the Japanese greeting used on the telephone moshi moshi, and the phrase meaning "what if", or moshimo. The device is a telephone booth where the characters dial a number and propose a "what if" scenario which alters the world. Nobita has wished for a world where money was not necessary, and purchasing an item meant receiving cash, and being robbed meant being forced to take cash, causing store clerks to force cash onto his hands upon attempting to purchase toys. Nobita has also wished for a world without mirrors, and for a world where lazy people who napped would be hailed as celebrities.
Dokodemo door
One of Doraemon's most commonly used gadgets is the dokodemo door, a door which allows travel to anywhere by simply going through the door. In an early story, the door is able to travel to the end of the universe, but in later chapters, the door is said to only be able to travel a maximum distance of 100,000 light years.
Small beam
Small beam, or small light, is a lamp similar to a flashligh that will shrink objects and people to minuscule sizes. The opposite tool is the large beam , which enlarges objects and people.
Pass Loop
A loop which creates a passage through a solid object such as a wall when placed upon it.
Air cannon
A gun barrel worn on the arm used to fire a powerful burst of air which can knock out the victim when the user says "bang".
Translation konjac
A piece of konjac jelly which enables a person to understand and speak any known language in the universe. The effect begins after the person ingests the jelly, but the duration of the effect is unknown. While the ones Doraemon uses are usually unflavored, in the story Nobita's Japan Birthday, he used one labeled to be miso flavored, suggesting the existance of various flavors, which are more expensive.
[edit] Other dōgu
There are around 4,500 different dōgu featured in Doraemon, and most of the dōgu appears only in one story.
* Memory bread is a bread used to imprint pages, which after ingestion, will imbue the consumer with the content imprinted on the bread.
* Restoring beam is a lamp which is able to restore broken items back to its original state.
* Animal biscuits are animal crackers which transforms the consumer into the animal the biscuit is shaped after for a short period of time.
* Air glue allows the user to stick things in the air.
* Air Crayons are used to draw things in the air, which then becomes real. The reverse is the air eraser.
* Allmighty pass is a pass which grants the holder access to anywhere and anything without cost or identification. Nobita once uses the pass for free taxi rides, going into pubs, and visiting a famous celebrity's house. The pass has an expiration date which needs to be renewed, and is very expensive, as Doraemon was disappointed when Nobita didn't use it for good.
* Deep sea cream allows the user to go underwater for extended periods of time.
* Fluffy medicine lightens the weight of the user taking this medicine, which allows floating into the clouds. Taking too much at once can be disastrous.
* Instant Christmas tree is a Christmas tree that grows instantly when planted. Similar tools include the instant vine, which grows into the sky moments after planting.
* Cloud hardening gas is a gas which hardens clouds upon application, allowing the clouds to be solid enough to be walked upon. Doraemon and his friends once used this gas to create a cloud city.
* Bamboo horse is a hybrid creature combining the horse and the bamboo, but is highly temperamental. It needs to be fed carrots and cared for to become loyal. Doraemon gives one to Nobita in order for Nobita to win a stilts walking contest.
* Mini-airplane is a miniature airplane with the ability to fire ammunition. When the mini-airplane is destroyed, the pilot will be ejected from it with a parachute.(seen on manga no.12)
* Lightning cloud is a small lightning cloud which floats and has a trigger used to immediately release lightning and thunder. Doraemon gives it to Nobita in order to help Nobita get accustomed to thunder.
* Sticker of truth is a small rubber sticker which can be stuck to anyone in order to make the wearer tell the truth. Nobita once used it on Suneo because Suneo was flattering random people.
