Can you believe that it’s been 50 years since Doraemon was created by Fujiko Fujio (manga duo Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko)?
In the span of 5 decades, the iconic blue robot cat has become a cultural phenomenon worldwide. As someone pointed out, the franchise can appeal to different markets – “You’ve got the kid market of generating new narratives, new interests and you’ve got the adult nostalgia market.”
In celebration of this occasion, the Doraemon franchise has set up a pop-up store right in the heart of the city on Ground Central (G-16B) at Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur. It debuted earlier this week and will remain here till 21st Sept 2020.
