HachikÅ (November 10, 1923 â€“ March 8, 1935), known in Japanese as chÅ«ken HachikÅ ("faithful dog HachikÅ" ['hachi' meaning 'eight', a number referring to the dog's birth order in the litter, and 'kÅ', meaning prince or duke]), was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of ÅŒdate, Akita Prefecture, remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.

Life

In 1924, HidesaburÅ Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo, took in HachikÅ, a golden brown Akita, as a pet. During his owner's life, HachikÅ 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 from a cerebral hemorrhage and died, never returning to the train station where HachikÅ was waiting. Every day for the next nine years the dog waited at Shibuya station.

HachikÅ attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen HachikÅ 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 HachikÅ treats and food to nourish him during his wait. This continued for nine years with HachikÅ appearing precisely when the train was due at the station.

Publication

That same year, one of Ueno's students (who developed expertise on the Akita breed) saw the dog at the station and followed him to the Kobayashi home (the home of the former gardener of Professor Ueno â€” Kikuzaboro Kobayashi) where he learned the history of HachikÅ's life. Shortly after this meeting, the former student published a documented census of Akitas in Japan. His research found only 30 purebred Akitas remaining, including HachikÅ from Shibuya Station.

He returned frequently to visit the dog and over the years published several articles about HachikÅ's remarkable loyalty. In 1932 one of these articles, published in Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, threw the dog into the national spotlight. HachikÅ became a national sensation. His faithfulness to his master's memory impressed the people of Japan as a spirit of family loyalty all should strive to achieve. Teachers and parents used HachikÅ's vigil as an example for children to follow. A well-known Japanese artist rendered a sculpture of the dog, and throughout the country a new awareness of the Akita breed grew.

Eventually, HachikÅ's legendary faithfulness became a national symbol of loyalty, particularly to the person and institution of the Emperor.

Death

HachikÅ died on March 8, 1935, and was found on a street in Shibuya. In March 2011 scientists settled the cause of death of HachikÅ: the dog had terminal cancer and a filaria infection (worms). There were also four yakitori skewers in HachikÅ's stomach, but the skewers did not damage his stomach or cause his death.

HachikÅ's stuffed and mounted remains are kept at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo.

Bronze statues

In April 1934, a bronze statue in his likeness was erected at Shibuya Station, and HachikÅ himself was present at its unveiling. The statue was recycled for the war effort during World War II. In 1948 The Society for Recreating the HachikÅ Statue commissioned Takeshi Ando, son of the original artist, to make a second statue. When the new statue appeared, a dedication ceremony occurred. The new statue, which was erected in August 1948, still stands and is an extremely popular meeting spot.

The station entrance near this statue is named "HachikÅ-guchi", meaning "The HachikÅ Entrance/Exit", and is one of Shibuya Station's five exits.

A [similar] statue stands in HachikÅ's hometown, in front of ÅŒdate Station. In 2004, a new statue of HachikÅ was erected on the original stone pedestal from Shibuya in front of the Akita Dog Museum in Odate.

The exact spot where HachikÅ waited in the train station is permanently marked with bronze paw-prints and text in Japanese explaining his loyalty.

Hachiko, the Dog Who Made Richard Gere Cry

March 31, 2008
http://www.pajamadeen.com/

No leading lady or heartthrob actor likes to compete with dogs or babies onstage. Itâ€™s a no-win situation. Richard Gere, however, was moved to tears by the true story of Hachiko, an Akita-ken who became a national symbol of faithfulness, loyalty and love in Japan, and filming of the movie Hachiko: A Dogâ€™s Story has just wrapped up in Bristol, Rhode Island. Gere, 58, stars as Parker, an American professor, in a parallel to the life of Eizaburo Ueno (1871-1925), a professor at the Imperial Agricultural University (now Tokyo University).

In May 1994, Japanâ€™s Culture Broadcasting Network played a recording of Hachiko barking which had been made from a broken record repaired with laser surgery. Millions of people tuned in to listen to Hachiko barking, 59 years after his death. Each April, tens of thousands visit the dogâ€™s statue at the Shibuya train station, during a festival in which food offerings are left at the base of the dogâ€™s statue, in hopes that his loyal spirit will visit all humans.
