gifted person

The full name of Dekisugi-kun, a character from Doraemon known as one of Nobita’s classmates, is Hidetoshi Dekisugi. As his name suggests, he excels at both studies and sports—he’s outstanding at everything—so he was given a name that plays on “dekisugi” (meaning “too capable” or “overachieving”). Dekisugi-kun is both knowledgeable and mild-mannered, and he’s someone whom those around him hold in high regard.
