History[]
Teraodai is the principal of the Robot Academy. When Doraemon revealed himself to be malfunctioned, he transported him to another class, which was coincidentally the same one that Noramyako is in. Later on, Noramyako introduced to Doraemon six other robots, forming the Doraemons. After they proved their competence, the Doraemons were entrusted by Teraodai for various tasks. Most of those tasks were also accompanied with secret tests of characters that he knew they would learn.
When the Doraemons returned to the school later than sunset as expected for the graduation, Teraodai, understanding their situation of having to save Dora-nichov, then exploited a loophole to grant them graduation. Some time later, after Doraemon accidentally helps them to capture Dolmanstein and Black Mask, the Time Patrol request the Matsushiba Robot Factory to make the Mini-Doras as a reward. On Christmas, Teraodai is the one who gives Doraemon them alongside a new fourth dimensional pocket to replace the one he lost during the attack on the criminals.
