Personality[]
Gian is known for his confidence in his terrible singing voice, to the point that he considers himself a great singer and even hates whenever his friends talk about the idol singers, seeing them as his rivals. He often forces his friends to go to his concert and hear the songs he wrote himself. His cooking is also atrocious, but no one dares to criticize him for they fear him too much to. Gian is very proud of his strength, often showing them off by forcing others, especially Nobita, to play wrestling with him in which he invariably wins.
Gian likes to bully others and often steals theirs toys and books under the pretext of "borrowing" them, threatening them if they refuse. As such, he is feared by others in his class, making him very arrogant and thinking that no one can go against him. At times, he can also be cruel to animals, as he and Suneo often try to capture them, forcing Nobita and Doraemon to rescue them. However, Gian is terrified of his mother, a fact Nobita and Doraemon sometimes use in their favor. He also likes to blame Nobita for his baseball team's losses, only keeping the latter around due to the lack of players.
Despite his antagonistic role, Gian does not hesitate to help his friends when they are in real trouble, which often occurs in long stories. Gian also has a younger sister named Jaiko, who he loves dearly that he would do anything to help her. Additionally, he also tries to be a person many times, although they often end in failure due to either his temper or others taking advantage of his newfound kindness to bully him back. Gian is also nice to Shizuka, never once directly bullying her, likely because she is a girl.
Ultimately, Gian overcomes his flaws and becomes a good father in the future.
