==History==
In The Mysterious Thief Dorapan, one night, Dorapin tries to take back a jewel that the Duke of Monaco has stolen from the National Museum so he can use the prize money for the poor. However, during his escape, the Duke's second-in-command injures him. He's then rescued and nursed back to health by Mimimi, and explains to her that he actually takes from the rich and gives it to the poor, rather than being a serial thief that many believe. 
When Dorapin is complaining about his dorayaki not having cheese inside, Mimimi reveals her family's magical orb that can transform things at the owner's will, and transforms the dorayaki into one of cheese. Just then the Duke of Monaco, piloting a gigantic robot, kidnaps Mimimi and has her dog shot, as well as taking back the jewel before leaving. Dorapin learns that the dog is actually a robot too and heals him, before the two go to rescue Mimimi.
At the time, the Duke of Monaco is thinking about using Mimimi's orb, which he has taken with her, to transform things to gold and become the richest man in the world, but Mimimi reveals that the orb is useless to evil people. Dorapin, disguising himself as the Duke's right-hand man, then takes back the orb and rescues her. The Duke attempts to escape in his giant robot, and Dorapin alongside Mimimi chase him. The Duke attempts to kill them, but Dorapin uses the orb to transform his robot into garbages, causing the Duke to fall into his palace, where the police arrest him.
Afterwards, Mimimi gives Dorapin the orb so he can continue his noble quest.
In The Puzzling Challenge Letter of the Mysterious Thief Dorapan, it's revealed that at some point, Mimimi is kidnapped and imprisoned by Dr. Achimoff, who places a collar on her neck that would choke her to death if he pushed the button on his golden tooth, so he can blackmail Dorapin into his service. Achimoff then orders Dorapin to take the Doraemons' cards to activate his machine to take over the world. Dorapin succeeds, but Dora Med and Dora-rinho escape.
Upon going into the tower where Mimimi is imprisoned, Dora-rinho meets her, who explains Dorapin's story to him. Just then Dorapin, disguising as Doraemon, appears and pretends to beg Rinho to take his card out. Rinho, having forgotten that the real Doraemon has been turned into a statue, complies and is subsequently turned into a statue as a result. Dora Med arrives in time to see it, and angrily turns into a giant and chases Dorapin and Mimimi into Achimoff's lair. There, Achimoff orders Dorapin to turn Med into statue while choking Mimimi to blackmail him. Having no choice, Dorapin complies.
Afterwards, Dorapin asks Achimoff to release Mimimi, to which the mad scientist reveals to be a lie and taunts Dorapin for believing him. Angered, Dorapin uses a card that Med gave him earlier to forcefully take Achimoff's golden tooth that contains the button and destroys it, freeing Mimimi while Achimoff flees. Dorapin then turns the Doraemons back to normal, but Achimoff throws them all into vacuum space, but they all survived thanks to the Doraemons' gadgets. Dorapin then tells Edo, Dora the Kid's horse friend, to take Mimimi to safety while he and the Doraemons fight Achimoff's robots. Despite Achimoff's multiple attempts to defeat them, the Doraemons manage to take back the cards and destroy his robot, forcing him to flee. After successfully defeating Achimoff, they all return to Earth and celebrate while watching Achimoff being arrested by the police. Unfortunately, the police recognize Dorapin's presence, forcing him to flee. Mimimi and the Doraemons then bid a goodbye to him, knowing that they will reunite someday.
