Sixteen people are formally named Doraemon itself.
Records include 158 people named Sasuke, 152 named Uchiha, 65 named Shinchan, 60 named Boruto, 37 named Usopp, 23 named Inuyasha and eight named Suneo.
"Naruto," "Doraemon" and "One Piece" have enjoyed decades of strong viewership and readership across Southeast Asia, where dubbed and subtitled versions circulate widely on television, streaming platforms and local video shops.
One senior population official was quoted emphasizing that the figures were based on actual population data and that the phenomenon was genuine.
The civil records themselves remain neutral, listing Doraemon, Nobita, Uzumaki, Naruto and Luffy alongside more conventional Indonesian names without distinction.
