CELEBRATING DORAEMON

ドラえもんの誕生日が自分と一日違いだった.130年以上年齢が違うけど。。。

Doraemon has been one of the most widely-recognized faces in Japanese comic culture since his creation more than 40 years ago.
Fans in Japan and Hong Kong are celebrating the birthday of the stubby robot cat sent from the future.
Fans of Doraemon lined up at a museum in Kawasaki, south of Tokyo. They waited to take a picture with a statue of the character. In the manga series, Doraemon is born on September 3rd, 2112.

"I took a day off from work, but I wish I could also be here 100 years from now."

The mayor of Kawasaki issued a special residence card bearing the name of Doraemon.
Local fans and tourists from mainland China also celebrated the birthday in Hong Kong. A giant cake was made for the occasion, using one of Doraemon's favorite dishes — bean-jam pancakes called dorayaki. Among other highlights, this replica set with diamonds, worth about one million dollars.

(Chinese visitor)
"This event has nothing to do with diplomatic tensions between Japan and China. We should treat them separately."

Doraemon is popular in many parts of Asia and South America. Viewers in Hong Kong got their first look at the TV version 30 years ago.
