ぼくの生まれた日

"Boku no Umareta Hi" (The Day I Was Born) is a short story from the manga series Doraemon, first published in 1972. The story revolves around Nobita Nobi's birthday, exploring his doubts about his own existence and his heartwarming interactions with his parents. After being scolded by his parents, Nobita feels saddened and even questions whether he is truly their child. To resolve this, Doraemon takes Nobita on a time-traveling journey to the day he was born, allowing him to witness his parents' love and expectations for him firsthand. Through this trip, Nobita not only understands his parents' hardships but also grasps the meaning behind his name, eventually reconciling with them. This story has been adapted into animation multiple times, including the 1979 TV anime, a 2002 short film that premiered alongside "Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom," and the 2005 TV anime. Each adaptation has modified the plot with elements such as adding new roles or introducing subplots, but retains the touching foundation of the original and is a well-loved classic in the Doraemon series.
