Hachikō, an Akita dog, is renowned for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, Professor Hidesaburō Ueno. Born in 1923, Hachikō would wait for Ueno every day at Shibuya Station, even after Ueno's sudden death in 1925. For nearly ten years, Hachikō continued to arrive at the station, hoping to greet his master. His story of unwavering loyalty touched many hearts, leading to the erection of a bronze statue in his honor at Shibuya Station.
