The story of Hachiko is a timeless moving narrative of a dogs enduring loyalty to his master. Hachiko was the faithful pet of Professor Hidesaburō Ueno, a Professor of agriculture at the University of Tokyo. Each day, Hachiko would meet the Professor at the train station until the Professors sudden death on 21 May 1925 from cerebral hemorrhage while at work. After the Professors death, Hachiko faithfully waited every day for the next 9 years in Shibuya station as he did before when his master was still alive at the precise time when the Professors train would pull in at the station. When Hachiko died on 8 March 1935, part of his remains were buried in one corner of the Professors grave in a Tokyo cemetery. Hachiko is immortalized in a bronze statue at the Shibuya train station and Hachikos paw prints in bronze are permanently marked on the spot where he used to wait in the train station. The story of Hachikos enduring loyalty to his masters memory is recounted in countless news articles and books, including the 2009 American film «Hachi: A Dogs Story». Each year on April 8 at the Shibuya station, dog lovers turn out in a ceremony to commemorate Hachikos memory.
