Nobita's stay-at-home mother. She is usually seen scolding Nobita or sending him out of the house (a typical Japanese household punishment used by parents). She actually loves her son very much, but is disappointed by his lazy attitude and academic failures. Several episodes involve Nobita trying to avoid his mother’s scolding by using Doraemon’s gadgets. Her maiden name is revealed to be 'Kataoka'.
