As a summer assignment, Nobita has to research the past of his town. Together with Doraemon, they use a gadget called time camera to take photos of the town sights from various time periods. To their great surprise, the last photo they take depicts Japanese folk hero Momotaro pulling a cart laden with treasure.
Later, Nobita's mom encounters a foreigner who shows the kids a small picture of a person dressed as samurai. The picture looks almost like a photo, and the person in the picture looks exactly like Momotaro. The foreigner has inherited this picture from his ancestors, and he has come to Japan in order to learn the truth about its origins.
Nobita begins to think that Momotaro might have been a real person. In order to solve the mystery, he travels to the past of Japan along with Doraemon, Shizuka, Takeshi and Suneo.

Where it came from
Released in 1981, Doraemon: Boku, Momotarou no Nanna no sa served as a short feature film alongside the theatrical release of the Doraemon franchise. It was produced by Shin-Ei Animation for TV Asahi, continuing the tradition of adapting Fujiko F. Fujio’s beloved manga series for the big screen. The film was created to capitalize on the massive success of the television series, offering audiences a whimsical, self-contained adventure that leaned heavily into the folklore elements of the Momotarou legend.
The film’s design reflects the characteristic aesthetic of the early 1980s Doraemon animation, characterized by rounded, simplified character models and vibrant, hand-painted backgrounds typical of the era. By reinterpreting the classic Japanese folktale through the lens of futuristic gadgets and Doraemon’s signature humor, the creative team sought to bridge traditional storytelling with modern children's entertainment. It was well-received by the target demographic, further cementing the franchise's dominance in Japanese pop culture during the early part of the decade.
