Shizuka Minamoto from Doraemon. Created by the Fujiko Fujio creative team, Shizuka epitomized the girl next door for generations of Japanese readers. Much of the manga's humor revolved around Shizuka finding herself in embarrassing situations; usually the result of Nobita's shenanigans. Both the manga and the anime featured copious amounts of panchira.
