Doraemon Santa

Fri, December 24, 2010, by Muza-chan

In case you’re wondering who is this cute and cuddly character, he is Doraemon, one of the most popular characters in Japan.
Doraemon is a robotic cat traveling back in time from the 22nd century…
His name comes from dora neko, meaning “stray cat” and emon, which is an old Japanese male name suffix. He is often represented in Santa outfit, so today I chose him to convey my best wishes to you:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!
