Background to Hachi Tale

• In the early 1900’s in Japan, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno would walk to the train station every day with his Akita, Hachi. Every evening, when the train pulled in, Hachi was there waiting for him.
• One day, Ueno did not return. He died while in Tokyo.
• As the legend goes, Hachi waited for Ueno at the train station every day for almost 10 years, until the day Hachi himself died.
• To this day, Hachi is famed for his loyalty and love.
• In Japan, statues of Hachi depict him faithfully waiting his owner’s return.
