Long time Doraemon fan and popular actor Shun Oguri (Hana Yori Dango, Detective Conan, Hana-Kimi) will play a mega-popular idol named, "Shun Amaguri" in an episode of Doraemon! Being a fan of the said series which was based on his image, he decided to voice the character himself. He added, "Doraemon remains an eternal hero for me."
When the program staff members created the character, they contacted representatives of Oguri to receive his consent. Not only did Oguri give his okay, but he added that it would be a huge honor. When he was young, he saw almost all of the Doraemon films, and he saw 1982's Doraemon: Nobita's Great Demon in particular more times than he can remember. His favorite character is Gian.
Oguri has recorded dialogue for anime films and other works before, so he handled sudden dialgoue changes in the middle of Doraemon's recording without problems. Doraemon's sound director, a professional known for strictness, even complimented Oguri for his enthusiastic performance.
Oguri's character will appear on the episode's first segment entitled, "I've Got a Spare Four-Dimensional Pocket." In the segment, Doraemon's owner Nobita takes his spare magical pocket without telling Doraemon. Nobita's rich classmate Suneo had boasted about getting Amaguri's autograph, so Nobita and his friend Shizuka use Doraemon's spare pocket to break into Amaguri's home to get an autograph — but not everything goes as planned.
