In 1924, Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor at the University of Tokyo, took an abandoned dog into his home and named him Hachiko. The dog was a golden brown Akita. Hachiko used to greet the professor daily at the Shibuya Railway Station. The dog and his owner followed this routine until May 1925, when the professor suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and died. The professor never returned to the station but the Hachiko waited for him for the next nine (9) years.

Hachiko used to come at the station and waited for his beloved owner everyday. Other commuters who had seen the bond of the dog with his owner felt sorry for the dog and started feeding the poor dog at the station.  One of Ueno�s students published articles about Hachiko�s ultimate loyalty towards his owner. The Japanese people would refer to Hachiko to inspire their children.

Hachiko died on March 8, 1935 because of terminal cancer and infections. His remains have been preserved at the National Science Museum of Japan, Tokyo. A Bronze statue of Hachiko was erected at the Shibuya station. Each year on April 8th, dog lovers come at the Shibuya station to honor Hachiko for his loyalty towards his owner.
