Totte is the Japanese name for the robot cat Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a young boy named Nobita. The name "Totte" in this context is derived from the Japanese word "tōtte," which means "to hold" or "to grasp," reflecting Doraemon's role in helping Nobita by "holding" his hand or providing assistance. The popularity of Doraemon has introduced the name Totte to a global audience.
