Dōgu

List of Doraemon's Dōgu

Doraemon can take out various devices known as dōgu (道具, lit. gadget?) from his fourth-dimensional pocket. Some of the gadgets are based on real Japanese household devices with fanciful twists, but most are completely science fiction (although some may be based on folklore or religious stories).

Thousands of dōgu have been featured in Doraemon. Some[who?] have placed the number of dōgu at approximately 4,500. It is this constant variety which makes Doraemon popular even among adult readers/viewers. In the series, the availability of dogu depends sometimes on the money Doraemon has available, and he often says some dogu are expensive in the future.

Some of the recurring dōgu appear also in Fujiko F. Fujio's other works such as 21-emon, Kiteretsu Daihyakka, Mikio to Mikio or Pāman.
