Editing Doraemon (section)

=== Conclusion ===
The series ceased its original run in 1994 and was not given an ending before Fujimoto's death in 1996; this has since aroused numerous [[urban legend]]s throughout the years.<ref name="Rogolino-2017">{{Cite web|last=Rogolino|first=Letizia|date=2017-01-27|title=Doraemon, 10 cose che (forse) sapete sul gatto robot che viaggia nel tempo|trans-title=Doraemon, 10 things you (maybe) don't know about the time-traveling robot cat|url=https://movieplayer.it/articoli/doraemon-10-curiosita-sul-gatto-robot-protagonista-di-anime-e-film_16990/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170201015429/https://movieplayer.it/articoli/doraemon-10-curiosita-sul-gatto-robot-protagonista-di-anime-e-film_16990/|archive-date=2017-02-01|access-date=2021-05-25|website=Movieplayer.it|language=it}}</ref> One of the most well-known "endings" of the manga was by an amateur manga cartoonist under the pen name "Yasue T. Tajima", first appeared on the Internet in 1998 and made up into a manga in 2005. The story takes place when Doraemon's battery dies, and Nobita later grows up becoming a robot engineer, potentially revive Doraemon and live a happy life. Tajima issued an apology in 2007, and the profits were shared with Shogakukan and the copyright owner, Fujiko F. Fujio Pro.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Miller|first=Evan|date=2007-05-30|title=Author of False Doraemon Ending Issues Apology|url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-05-29/false-doraemon-ending|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070601154615/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-05-29/false-doraemon-ending|archive-date=2007-06-01|access-date=2021-06-01|website=Anime News Network}}</ref>
