Japan has appointed its first "anime ambassador": Doraemon.
Doraemon will spread information about Japan all over the world. The earless blue and white cat will appear in films. The films will talk about Japan's lifestyles and customs.
The Japanese government wants to stoke interest in its cartoons and food. They launched a campaign promoting "Cool Japan." Doraemon is the latest part of that campaign.

Doraemon is the main character in an animation series that's very popular in Japan. The series is also popular in much of Asia.
The friendly cat travels back to the present from the 22nd century. He helps out a schoolboy by lending him an "anywhere door." The door allows people to travel wherever they please.
"By appointing Doraemon, we hope people in other countries will understand Japanese anime better. We hope they will deepen their interest in Japanese culture," said Yuko Hotta, a government official.

Rice is essential to Japanese culture, tradition and politics. People take pride in the oval-shaped sticky Japonica grain, which is still a staple even though total consumption has fallen over the decades.
