He often takes any chance to get a nap and favors gadgets from Doraemon. He envies Dekisugi, who is good at everything and admired by Shizuka.

Shizuka Minamoto |
|
Shizuka Minamoto is a smart, kind and pretty girl.She is Nobita's best friend and he has a crush on her. She does not shun Nobita due to his failing grades, lazy disposition or constant failures. In fact, she often tries to encourage him to do better athough she usually fails to convince him. Shizuka likes to take a bath several times a day. However, a running gag in the series is that she is sometimes interrupted by sudden appearance of Nobita, Gian or Suneo, usually due to misuse of Doraemon's gadgets like the Anywhere Door.

Suneo Honekawa |
|
Suneo Honekawa is the fox-faced (inherited from his mother) rich child who loves to flaunt his wealth in front of everyone, especially Nobita. A lot of the stories start with Suneo showing off some new video game, toy or pet which evokes Nobita's envy. He is often seen with Gian, teasing Nobita. He sometimes despises Nobita and often makes fun of him, most often resulting in Nobita getting into trouble. He also often pushes Nobita aside with silly excuses while he invites Gian and Shizuka to his parties. However, he is actually one of Nobita's closest friends, who would often ask for his and Doraemon's help. In the films, Suneo is often the one most reluctant to take part in Nobita and Doraemon's adventures and tries to face as little trouble as possible and go home, unless others convince him, making him somewhat a coward. He has an extensive knowledge of science, and is a talented artist and designer, besides being extremely cunning.

Takeshi Goda (Gian) |
|
Takeshi Goda usually known by the nickname "Gian", is a strong and quick-tempered local bully. He also frequently steals other children's stuff (especially Suneo's) under the pretext of "borrowing" them, unless the toy is damaged. He is known for his horrible singing voice, though he considers himself a great singer. To prove this, Gian sometimes "invites" others to attend his concerts under the threat of beatings. His singing is so horrible that, once, Nobita and Doraemon try to mute it in a silent world. In some films, his singing is enhanced to become an effective weapon (as in 'Nobita's Great Adventure in the South Seas'). In some episodes when his voice is recorded and he hears it, he instantly denies it being his voice and threatens to beat up the person who sang his songs in a very bad way (which is an irony). Gian is also confident in cooking, but just like his singing, his hand-made food can be a nightmare for other people very easily.
