Why is Dorami afraid of cockroaches?


According to various sources, Dorami's dislike of roaches is more along the
lines of ordinary people's disgust of the insect species, mostly due to their
nature. The original manga never established canon for this and her dislike
was retconned into the anime and _Doraemon Encyclopedia_ ( _ドラえもん百科_ ) after
the manga had already been published.

The first appearance of her actually exclaiming her dislike seems to be in the
_Dorami MiniDora SOS!!!_ ( _ドラミちゃん ミニドラSOS!!!_ ) short, which premiered with
the _Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan_ ( _ドラえもん: のび太の日本誕生_ ) movie in
Japan back in March of 1989.

The first appearance of Dorami reacting to a cockroach is in vol. 9, chapter 9
of the original manga, "Urashima Candy." Dorami never states that she hates
roaches and only reacts to being surprised by them.
