Gouda, Takeshi

剛田 武

Takeshi, commonly referred to by the nickname "Gian" (derived from the English word "giant"), is a large, strong, and hot-tempered local bully. He is confident in his terrible singing voice, despite considering himself a great singer. He regularly forces neighborhood children to endure horrendous singing recitals, which are sometimes paired with his equally bad homemade dinners and atrocious fashion sense. He also frequently steals other children's toys and books under the pretext of "borrowing" them, unless the toy is damaged. This behavior leads most fans to consider Gian the antagonist of the show. However, he does not hesitate to help Nobita and his friends when they are in real trouble, a scenario that often occurs in the movies.
Several stories revolve around Nobita and his friends' efforts to avoid Gian's concerts, and several chapters summarize their attempts to avoid visiting Gian's house on his birthday due to his selfish nature. After reflecting on one birthday event, Gian wondered why he was not popular among his peers. After receiving a lecture from Doraemon about his unruly character, Gian realized he should have been a better person and begged Doraemon to give him another chance. However, things did not go exactly as planned when his friends at school or on the streets mocked him for acting weird and Suneo kicked him after learning of his attempt to become gentle toward his peers. This caused him to lose control of his temper and start attacking his friends again.
Although he bullies the other children (mostly Nobita), he is terrified of his mother, who runs the local grocery store, a fact that Nobita and Doraemon sometimes use to their advantage. He founded his own baseball team named after himself. Although Nobita is often blamed for losses against the team's rival, the "Tyranos," Gian and Suneo still force Nobita to play because they do not have enough players.
Gian also has a younger sister named Jaiko, whom he adores.
