6
7	TheSmartGuy who serves as a complete opposite character of Nobita.
8	----
9	* AcademicAthlete: The smartest kid in the school, but also athletic and good at sports.
10	* TheAce: Smart, nice, athletic, popular, etc. [[DubNameChange Ace is even his name in the DisneyXD dub]].
11	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: To make his ChickMagnet status more justified, he's more handsome in the 2005 anime compared to his character design in the 1979 anime.
12	* AgentScully: Dekisugi has shown a tendency to thinking through reasoning and rationality. In short; he didn't believe in superstitions and regards them to be "scientifically explainable". That said, he actually had a debate with Nobita about Magic in the original version of ''Great Adventure into the Underworld''.
13	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: His appearance seems to be used to show [[ThisLoserIsYou how much of a loser]] Nobita is.
14	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: He's much better-looking than the boys of the Main Five: Nobita, Gian, and Suneo. He's also much nicer than them and a better person than them in every way.
15	* BerserkButton: He absolutely hates when others pick on Nobita, going as far as to try defending him in some situations. Once, he even yelled at Gian for that reason.
16	* BewareTheNiceOnes: There are moments where he can get angry, though they are much milder than Shizuka's.
17	* BirdsOfAFeather: Pretty much a male Shizuka, and the reason why he gets along so well with her.
18	* BookSmart: He always gets perfect grades and the teacher constantly praises him.
19	* BrokenAce: Rarely, but there are times when even ''he'' needs Doraemon's help.
20	** In one episode, he's threatened by an older kid outside of school.
21	** In another episode, he's terrorized by anonymous telephone calls in the middle of the night, and this makes him so nervous that he starts getting [[TheBGrade (slightly)]] lower grades than his usual perfect scores. It turns out that another jealous AlwaysSecondBest student was prank calling him to terrorize him.
22	* ChickMagnet: He is considered good-looking by many girls in his class.
23	* ChildProdigy: An academically brilliant and multi-talented kid. His favorite subjects are Astronomy and Philosophy, but he excels at ''every'' subject.
24	* ChronicHeroSyndrome: He always tries to help others, but there are times when he gets a bit so insistent about that and overdoes it. This leads to HeroicFatigue in ''The Three Dimensional Puzzle Hammer''; where he insists on solving every puzzle that Nobita and Suneo left around town, mainly because they were objects that other people wanted/needed to use, by the end he's so exhausted that he collapses at the mere sight of another puzzle.
25	* TheComicallySerious: He's known by everyone to be incredibly intelligent, but is more often than not left confused by Nobita's behavior or how Doraemon's gadgets function.
26	* DidNotGetTheGirl: In ''Anime/StandByMeDoraemon'', his future self mentions (while DrowningMySorrows) that he has proposed to Shizuka, but she told him that he could manage without her, unlike [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Nobita]]. That said, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he makes an effort to encourage Nobita to make Shizuka happy]] the day before their wedding day and expresses little to no jealousy.
27	%%* FanOfUnderdog: In 'The Perfect Love Letter' he ends up wanting to emulate Nobita at everything, including going with him to and being tardy for school, after being impressed by Nobita's writing skills, courtesy of an automated pen. He [[InsaneTrollLogic assumed]], after a brief shock, that acting like Nobita will help him to improve his writing.
28	%%* FatalFlaw: His earnestness to help others and Scully-tendencies, things which have led to him having a breakdown due to fatigue or being unable to rationally explain something on seperate occasions.
29	* {{Foil}}:
30	** He's basically everything Nobita isn't. It doesn't help that they both have similar character designs.
31	** Like Suneo, he's intelligent and possesses many talents. However, Suneo is considerably meaner [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold (or at least gives off a meaner demeanor)]] than Dekisugi, who never brags about anything unlike Suneo. And while Nobita is jealous of both of them, Suneo is more intentionally antagonistic towards Nobita than Dekisugi.
32	* FriendlyEnemy: Could be regarded (in the extremes) as this in terms of his relationship with Nobita, though the enmity is always one-sided on Nobita's part, and Dekisugi treats him like a friend.
33	* GentlemanAndAScholar: Despite his intelligence and many talents, [[ThinkNothingOfIt he never shows off about it]]. He's always very humble, and genuinely friendly and respectful to everyone, including Nobita.
34	* HeroAntagonist: He's a perfectly nice guy who just happens to be often antagonized by the main character because he sees him as a romantic rival.
35	* IconicSequelCharacter: Dekisugi never appeared in the 1973 anime because his character wasn't added until later in the manga.
36	* LastNameBasis: Dekisugi is his last name.
37	* MeaningfulName: "Dekisugi" literally means "overachiever". His [[DubNameChange dub name]] "Ace Goody" also counts.
38	* NiceGuy: The nicest character in the series, always willing to help out. Even Shizuka can be a little snippy at times, but Dekisugi is polite to everyone all the time and almost never gets angry. In one story, Dekisugi ends up being the only one willing to suffer through one of [[DreadfulMusician Gian's concerts]] along with Nobita and Doraemon (who'd been forced to distribute tickets for the event), which even Shizuka had tried to get out of.
39	* NotSoAboveItAll:
40	** Although very rare, there are times when even he behaves less than rationally. In one manga story, Nobita uses a gadget to seal himself inside a poster, which Shizuka ends up putting up in her room. When she and Dekisugi notice Nobita moving in the poster, they immediately assume that it is the work of a {{Youkai}} and crumple up the poster before throwing it out Shizuka's window, not even bothering to dispose of it properly.
41	** Even though Dekisugi is WiseBeyondHisYears, the few times he hangs out with the main gang show that he enjoys many of the same activities as most children his age. When Doraemon brings out helmets that give the wearer the illusion of going on a space adventure, Dekisugi gets more into the game of make-believe than Nobita does.
42	** He is always very respectful of Shizuka and never does anything towards her with perverted intent, despite openly admitting to liking her. However, in anime adaptations of ''Special Sci-Fi, Ultra Dora-Man'', he is shown to enjoy seeing her in a revealing outfit alongside the other boys.
43	* ObliviousToHatred: He thinks Nobita is a friendly classmate, and is completely unaware of [[UnknownRival Nobita's]] hatred and jealousy towards him, despite all the obvious signs. It helps that Nobita can actually be friendly and supportive towards him on occasion.
44	* OddNameOut: Just like Suneo, he has a rather odd-sounding name in the English dub.
45	* ParodySue: He's more the embodiment of the "perfect human being" rather than a real character. He's TheAce at absolutely everything, he has ''zero'' personality flaws, and even his very, ''very'' rare NotSoAboveItAll moments are mostly limited to getting justifiably angry or being a ''bit'' of a pushover.
46	* RenaissanceMan: He's an AcademicAthlete, other than artistic, good at drawing, a SupremeChef etc.
47	* TheRival: Nobita sees him as a rival for Shizuka's affection, but Dekisugi himself [[UnknownRival is not aware of this]]. Unfortunately for Nobita, Shizuka sometimes prefers Dekisugi's company, as he is more of her intellectual equal. This stimulates Nobita into concocting bizarre schemes with the help of Doraemon's gadgets to keep them apart.
48	* TheSixthRanger: Sometimes. It's not rare for him to receive calls by his friends, asking for guidance or tips. Due to his ParodySue status, however, he rarely gets into the thick of things like the other kids. Notably more so in the anime, where his role is usually to be the {{Infodump}}.
49	* SkilledButNaive: He's intelligent and excels at ''everything'', but is unaware of Nobita's jealousy towards him.
50	* ATasteOfDefeat: A rather unintentional example. The aforementioned ''Puzzle Hammer'' story; not only he postponed a planned activity with Shizuka to solve all those puzzles due to Nobita and Suneo's shenanigans at turning everything into puzzle pieces, but recruited her into helping him with the task. They eventually become so mentally fatigued, when Nobita asked for their help to rebuild Suneo who accidentally turned into puzzle pieces, they just quickly passed out and lying on the floor, much to the former's confusion.
51	* WiseBeyondTheirYears: He is not only a very knowledgeable ChildProdigy, but also pays attention to current events and usually has a very mature outlook on most topics.

54	[[folder:Teacher (Mr. S)]]
55	[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/untitled_715.png]]
56
57	The unnamed Sensei is Nobita's teacher.
58	----
59	* ADayInTheLimelight: There is an episode about the possibility of him leaving the school. Nobita and the other students persuade him to stay.
60	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He is initially portrayed as comedic relief in earlier chapters. This is reflected by his goofier design.
61	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only called "''sensei''" ("teacher") in the Japanese version, and he's only called "sir" in the Hindi dub.
62	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is usually strict with his students, especially Nobita, Gian, and Suneo (all problematic students in their own ways). However, he also frequently expresses his concern and hope for his students and wants them to become better individuals in the future.
63	* NoNameGiven: His real name is unknown and he is only referred to as "''Sensei''", but in the NTV anime, his name is given as Ganari.
64	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's strict, but well-respected by his students for being this. He even managed to inspire Nobita occasionally.
65	* SatelliteCharacter: Most of his appearances are about him teaching at school as well as coming back from work at school.
66	* StandingInTheHall: He applies this punishment to the students who arrive late to his classes, as Nobita, Gian and Suneo can testify.
67	* SternTeacher: He is a strict teacher who often punishes his worst students for failing his tests, being late to school, or forgetting the homework which ranges from standing in the hallway to sweeping the classroom after-school. The RunningGag is extended to the point that Nobita, Gian, and/or Suneo simply meeting the Teacher in the streets, usually during holidays, will have them being admonished for their lack of school performance.
68	* TwoTeacherSchool: He's apparently the only teacher in the school. He's the math teacher (they hardly ever mention other subjects), who is also seen teaching gym, the cooking classes, and all the other school activities.

71	[[folder:Others]]
72	!!Haruo and Yasuo
73	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yasuo_and_haruo.png]]
74	Two recurring friends of the gang.
75	----
76	* AdaptationNameChange: In the 1979 anime, Yasuo was known as Yamada and Haruo as Masashi Noda.
77	* EveryoneHasStandards: They don't appreciate Gian's bullying and dreadful singing more than anyone else.
78	* ExtremeDoormat: To Gian, like everyone. He occasionally bullies them and steals their belongings when Nobita is not around and they never attempt to do anything about it.
79	* FatAndSkinny: Haruo is the fat one while Yasuo is thin.
80	* FlatCharacter: They mostly appear as background players in the baseball games, or among the group of kids terrorized by Gian. They never have ADayInTheLimelight, and are rarely addressed by ''name''. Sometimes they are credited as "Boy A" and "Boy B".
81	* KidsAreCruel: Downplayed, but sometimes, they join Gian and Suneo when they pick on Nobita. On their own, they are pretty harmless though.
82	* PetTheDog: They occasionally have concerned looks on their faces when Gian beats up Nobita.
83	* ThoseTwoGuys: They're usually seen together.
84
85	!!Masami
86	->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (1979), Minami Takayama; among others (2005-present)
87	A bespectacled boy who is in Nobita's class and often hangs out with the gang.
88	----
89	* ADayInTheLimelight: The manga chapter 'Tracer Badges' and its 1979 adaptation is this for him, it even reveals his name. Not longer the case in the last series.
90	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His main role serves to show that he is a kind and forgiving boy.
91	* NiceGuy: He never makes fun of/bullies Nobita. Consider the event of his debut story.
92	* RecurringExtra: The classic anime drops him out after his main story and his model only appears in the background. The new anime reduces his role in that episode; but keeps him around, sometimes with a speaking role, in others.
93	* TurnTheOtherCheek: Despite Nobita using the Tracer Badges to get him into trouble with his mom, he still refuses to join Gian, Suneo and the others into setting a trap to ambush Nobita.
94
95	!!Kaminari
96	[[quoteright:228:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kaminari_5.png]]
97	A homeowner near the yard that Nobita and friends usually gather or play in.
98	----
99	* BerserkButton: It's understandable he would get angry, but he ''blows up'' every time the baseball hits his home's windows or his pottery collection.
100	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he's mostly seen as grumpy and in a bad mood, he can be very friendly on occasion, much to the boys' surprise.
101	* PunnyName: His name is a pun on the word ''thunder'' in Japanese.
102
103	!!Mr. Dekisugi

120	----
121	* AdaptedOut: Only appears in early chapters and the 1973 anime. She was scrapped from appearing in future manga episodes and the 1979 anime series due to Fujiko F. Fujio loathing her.
122	* TheBusCameBack: She appeared as a cameo in one episode from the 2005 series
123	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Gachako or Gatchako?
