Doraemon is the long-running Japanese anime and manga series created by Fujiko F. Fujio, first published in 1969, about a blue robot cat from the future who helps schoolboy Nobita. Dorayaki, a sweet red bean pancake, became Doraemon's signature favorite food throughout the manga, anime and films, appearing in countless episodes and merchandise. Clips of his voice mentioning dorayaki circulate widely on TikTok and soundboards in Japan and beyond, shared by fans as a shorthand for the character's innocent, food-loving personality and for childhood nostalgia.
