Doraemon (ドラえもん, Doraemon) is a Japanese anime television series based on Fujiko F. Fujio's manga of the same name and is the successor to both the 1979 anime and 1973 anime of the same name, serving as the third adaptation in the franchise. The series, produced by Shin-Ei Animation, TV Asahi and ADK Emotions, premiered on TV Asahi and its affiliates in Japan on April 15, 2005, and currently airs in over fifty countries internationally. Since its premiere in 2005, Doraemon has aired 892 episodes, multiple holiday specials, and 19 feature films. This Doraemon anime series is referred to in Asia as the Mizuta Edition (水田版), after Wasabi Mizuta, the voice actress who voices Doraemon in this series.
Over the course of its run, the show has had three English dubs. The first one was licensed by Viz Media for North American broadcast exclusively, and developed by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and aired on Disney XD in the United States as Doraemon: Gadget Cat From the Future from July 7, 2014 to September 1, 2015, with reruns lasting until 2018. The second dub was licensed by LUK Internacional and produced by Red Angel Media in Hong Kong, and began running on Boomerang in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2015, but ended its run not long after in January 2016. The third dub was licensed by Spacetoon India and produced by EarCandy in South Africa, and aired on Disney Channel in India sometime in early 2020, and on Disney Channel HD from August 14, 2023 to May 10, 2025, although episodes of the dub are still occasionally broadcast.
As of 2025, TV Asahi holds the distribution and licensing rights to the series, as well as the previous television adaptation and the feature-length movies.
