Doraemon, sus orejas, his ears...

Doraemon is the robot cat sent back in time by Sewashi to aid Nobita. Doraemon originally had ears but they were bitten off by a robot mouse back in the 22nd century. As a result, he developed a morbid fear of mice, despite being a robotic cat. He also has the tendency to panic during emergencies, characterized by him frantically trying to pull out a very much-needed tool from his pocket (this 4-dimensional pocket is probably the best form of hammerspace), only to produce a huge assortment of unrelated household items.

Doraemon tenia originalmente orejas, lo que pasa que se las mordio un raton. Yo la verdad no tenia ni idea, hasta que vi este munyequito. Vaya vaya...
