7 Similarities Between Ninja Hattori-kun And Doraemon

These two anime are very famous since I was in a very young age. Many fans agree that watching Doraemon is better than Ninja Hattori. I assumed it just because people watch Doraemon in the first place and they like it, so they feel the second anime is a little bit odd. For me both anime are good. While watching Doraemon is relaxing, watching Ninja Hattori gives you a different sensation of being a skilful ninja. However, I am aware that several things I spotted on Ninja Hattori reminds me that of Doraemon. Here is some resemblance that I noticed:

• Hattori Kanzo, the main character in this anime is a very talented young boy. He has various ninja techniques that are usually used in desperate situation. The techniques are separately featured in every episode. This practically similar with Doraemon who uses his 4D pocket to take many gadgets for helping anyone in-need. 
• In Ninja Hattori, there is a boy who nearly has no talent or skills named Kenichi. He is always need someone to help him to clear up his mess which is considered as his bad luck. Luckily, Hattori is always be on his side. You can guess with whom Kenichi bear resemblance to. He is obviously similar to Nobita in Doraemon anime, a boy with the same destiny who needs Doraemon's gadgets to solve his problems all the time. Not to mention his appearance wearing glasses makes him more identical each other. 
• There is a rival character, Kemumaki, who always bully Kenichi to win a heart of beautiful girl in the series, Yumeko. Together with his Ninja cat kagechiyo, Kemumaki cons a lot of people to ease his plan. These two characters are indeed the counterpart of Gian and Suneo in Doraemon anime. Gian's strength and selfish personality plus Suneo's trikery, transform into a new character known as Kemumaki in Ninja Hattori anime. 
• The only beautiful and classy girl named Yumeko becomes dispute between Kenichi and Kemumaki. Yumeko is depicted as an intelligent and hardworking student who has many friends. She also is kind to people as well. That is what makes her special to some boys. However, Yumeko has a hasty mind which is shown by her tendency to judge people by their appearance and skills rather than by their personality. Yes, she resembles Shizuka whatsoever. Their pink-motive dress confirm the similarity. 
• Hattori has a little brother named Shinzo. While Hattori is addressed with his last name, people prefer call Shinzo with his first name. I thought Shinzo is a girl this whole time. That would make me think he shares identical sister gender of the main character in both anime. Even so, Shinzo still holds similarity of being a little brother to Hattori similar to Dorami who is a little sister of Doraemon. 
• The location in Ninja Hattori-kun is almost similar to that of Doraemon. You can find school, characters houses, and other locations in the same atmosphere. It really look like they live in the same town. As you watch both anime, you will wonder if the main family house in Ninja Hattori-kun is only several block away from Nobi family house in Doraemon anime due to its great resemblance. 
• The main reason why Ninja Hattori-kun and Doraemon contain numerous identical things is because the anime was created by the same person, Fujiko Fujio. Actually it is a pen name of duo manga artist Fujimoto and Abiko. They worked together until the end of their partnership. They decided to concentrate on solo project, Fujimoto for Doraemon and Abiko for Ninja Hattori-kun. However, the bonding they obtained by collaborating many years is clearly depicted in these identical anime.
