Here's a breakdown of some prominent Doraemon characters' Japanese names and their meanings:
Doraemon (ドラえもん): "Dora" likely comes from "dora neko" (stray cat), referencing his robotic cat origins. "Emon" is a common suffix for male names with a slightly old-fashioned feel.
Nobita Nobi (野比 のび太): "Nobita" (野比) doesn't have a specific meaning, but "Nobi" (のび) can mean "to stretch" or "to extend," possibly hinting at his desire for improvement. "太 (ta)" means "big" or "large."
Shizuka Minamoto (静香 源静香): "Shizuka" (静香) means "quiet" or "peaceful," reflecting her gentle personality. "Minamoto" (源) is a common Japanese surname.
Takeshi Goda (剛田 たけし): "Takeshi" (たけし) means "strong" or "sturdy," matching his tough exterior. "Goda" (剛田) combines kanji meaning "strong" and "rice field."
Suneo Honekawa (骨川 スネ夫): "Suneo" (スネ夫) doesn't have a direct meaning, but some speculate it could be a play on the word "sune" (脛) meaning "shin." "Honekawa" (骨川) combines kanji for "bone" and "river."
Dorami (ドラミ): Similar to Doraemon's name, "Dorami" uses "Dora" and has "mi" (美) added, meaning "beautiful."
Pokémon, with its origins in Japan, falls squarely under the definition of anime. It exhibits the hallmarks of anime style, with its characters' exaggerated features, vibrant color palette, and dynamic action sequences. Moreover, Pokémon shares thematic elements common in anime, such as friendship, perseverance, and the pursuit of dreams.
In the final battle of Tokyo Ghoul:re, Kaneki confronts and defeats both Furuta and Rize, bringing an end to their twisted ambitions. With peace restored to Tokyo, Kaneki settles into a quiet life alongside Touka and their daughter, Ichika, finding solace in the normalcy he once yearned for.
Naruto Uzumaki becomes the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure in the anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.
The exact episode in which he becomes Hokage is not explicitly shown, but it is implied to have happened sometime after the events of Naruto Shippuden.
The OVA "The Day Naruto Became Hokage" depicts the day of his inauguration, but he is knocked unconscious by his daughter Himawari and misses the ceremony. Despite this, he is still considered the Seventh Hokage.
