Hachikō
was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture who is remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner which continued for many years after his owner's death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Unbelievable Facts )〕 Hachikō is known in Japanese as ''chūken Hachikō'' (忠犬ハチ公, "faithful dog Hachikō") — ''hachi'' meaning eight, and a suffix ''kō'' meaning affection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kō (公) )〕
==Life==
In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took Hachikō, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner's life, Hachikō greeted him at the end of each day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return. The professor had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where Hachikō was waiting. Each day for the next nine years, nine months and fifteen days, Hachikō awaited Ueno's return, appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.
Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. Initial reactions from the people, especially from those working at the station, were not necessarily friendly. However, after the first appearance of the article about him on October 4, 1932 in ''Asahi Shimbun'', people started to bring Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.〔(Dog faithfully awaits return of his master for past 11 years ) story Posted Aug 18, 2007 by Chris V.
