Nobita's grandmother was Nobisuke and Nobirou's mother, and Tamako's mother-in-law. She died when Nobita was in kindergarten, but left a lasting impression on him. She was warm and caring, and famously gave him advice about bouncing back from failure—comparing it to a Daruma doll that always rights itself no matter how many times it falls. Nobita still has that doll and occasionally brings it up in conversations with Doraemon, suggesting it remains meaningful to him even after all these years.
