I get asked this a lot in fan threads, so here's the clearest breakdown I can give from the stuff I've collected over the years.
Shinnosuke Nohara — the one everybody calls Shin-chan from 'Crayon Shin-chan' — is canonically five years old in both the manga and anime. His birthday is commonly given as May 5th (which is Japan's Children's Day), and many official profiles list his birth year as 1990, though the series keeps him perpetually five as it goes on. That May 5th detail is the one most people cite because it ties neatly into his kid-centric antics and the show's playful timing.
Toru Kazama, Shin-chan's close friend and the more serious kid in their group, is also canonically five. Unlike Shin-chan, Kazama's exact birthday isn't consistently emphasized across every source — some character guides give dates while others skip it — so there isn't a single universally agreed-upon birthday that fans point to the way they do for Shin-chan. I personally like that both are pegged as five; it keeps their dynamic simple and timeless.

Totally unexpected moments are where Kazama shines for me — especially in the older 'Crayon Shin-chan' episodes where his straight-laced personality collides with Shin-chan's chaos. I often go back to the school play and festival arcs: scenes where Kazama tries to be the responsible leader and ends up mortified by Shin-chan's hijinks are peak comedy. One classic pattern is Kazama's slow, mounting meltdown — he starts trying to keep order, uses big words, and then a single Shin-chan quip reduces him to a sputtering, red-faced mess.
I also love family episodes where Kazama's home-life is shown; his attempts to act serious in front of adults while his friends are goofing off make for subtle, delightfully awkward humor. There are bits where Kazama's pride leads him into dressing up, overacting, or trying to out-mature everyone, and that's where the contrast creates the funniest beats. Rewatching those slices of childhood chaos always makes me grin — Kazama's dignity getting slowly dismantled is comfort comedy for me.

Flipping through a volume of 'Crayon Shin-chan' always makes me pause at Kazama — he’s the kid with the bowl-cut seriousness and the constant scowl, but here’s the core: Kazama (Tōru Kazama) is not family to Shin-chan. He’s one of Shinnosuke’s classmates and one of his closest friends, even if they argue, compete, and occasionally physically spar in that cartoonish way. Their relationship in the manga is basically childhood friendship with a streak of rivalry; Kazama often acts like the straight-laced, rule-following foil to Shin-chan’s chaotic antics.
Beyond that, Kazama’s own family shows up sometimes and gives color to his personality. The manga paints his home life as more disciplined and traditional compared to Shin-chan’s noisy Nohara household. Shin-chan, by contrast, lives with his dad Hiroshi, his mom Misae, and his baby sister Himawari — that tight-knit, messy trio that the series centers on. So if you’re asking about family ties: Kazama and Shin-chan aren’t related by blood; they’re friends whose family backgrounds help drive their comedic interactions. I always find that contrast delightful — it makes their fights and team-ups feel sincere.

Watching Kazama through the long run of 'Crayon Shin-chan' felt like flipping through a scrapbook of slow, stubborn growth. Early on, he was this ultra-serious kid who sometimes came off as a mini-adult — proud, a bit rigid, always trying to enforce rules among his friends. That constant need to be the 'right' kid made him an easy foil for Shin-chan’s chaos; I used to laugh at how Kazama's dignity would wrinkle the moment Shinnosuke did something outrageous.
As the series matured, so did Kazama. Episodes and films started peeling back layers: flashes of insecurity, glimpses of family expectations, and rare moments of tenderness when he betrayed worry for his pals. He didn't become a different character overnight, but those slow reveals made him feel more three-dimensional — a kid who wears a stern mask because he's trying to live up to something inside.
Now I mostly appreciate how Kazama functions as both contrast and anchor. His seriousness amplifies the comedy, but his quiet vulnerabilities add real weight when the show drifts into heartfelt territory. He’s one of those characters who rewards long-term viewers, and I still find myself rooting for him whenever he lets his guard down.

Doraemon's best friend is undoubtedly Nobita Nobi, and their bond is the heart of the entire series. Nobita might be clumsy, lazy, and perpetually unlucky, but that’s exactly why Doraemon sticks by him—he sees the kindness and potential underneath all the mess. Their dynamic is hilarious yet touching; Doraemon’s futuristic gadgets often bail Nobita out of trouble, but what really shines is how much they care for each other.
I love how the series never paints Nobita as a hopeless case. Even when he screws up (which is constantly), Doraemon’s loyalty never wavers. It’s a friendship that feels real—full of exasperation, playful teasing, and quiet moments where they just get each other. Plus, the way Nobita gradually grows (thanks to Doraemon’s support) makes their relationship feel earned.
