History
Manga
The manga was first published without permissions from the originally published by Kim Đồng Publishing House on December 11, 1992.[1] It was an immediate success, four Doraemon books (each containing 108 pages) had sold 40,000 copies.[2] In 1996, Kim Dong Publisher House was visited by Shogakukan and paid royalties for their publishing of the manga between 1992 and 1996.[1] The money went to the Doraemon Scholarship Fund,[1] a scholarship fund for poor students in Vietnam and later, it was given the Culture Fighter Award. As of 2006, the manga had sold at least 40 to 50 million copies, a record in the comic market in Vietnam.[3]
Between 1992 and 2009, the character's names in the manga were changed, to 'make it easier for readers to read and remember them'. Doraemon was Đôrêmon Mèo Ú (Fat Cat Doremon), Nôbita hậu đậu (Clumsy Nobita), Xê-kô mỏ nhọn (Pointy mouth Xeko) and Chaien lồi rốn (Exposed belly button Gian). Because the old translating was not very accurate and omitted many details, Kim Dong Publishing House published a new version of the manga by the name Doraemon which was translated accurately. It was released on May 29, 2010.[4]
