According to the vlogger's caption, the station gained this nickname because it's located near the birthplace of Fujiko F. Fujio, the co-creator of Doraemon. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth in 2009, the station was rebranded with a Doraemon theme. Additionally, some nearby attractions and locations also celebrate the Doraemon legacy, making the station an unofficial hub for fans of the iconic character.
