In 1923, a heavy snow fell in Odate City, Akita Prefecture, Japan, and the Kondo family's purebred Akita dog gave birth to Maase, the chief of the prefecture's civil engineering department. The latter gave one of the dogs to Tokyo Imperial University professor Ueno Hidejiro for domestication. Ueno's only daughter, Chizuruko, rejoiced, but the Ueno couple looked embarrassed. Qianhezi fell in love and was pregnant with her boyfriend's child. Boyfriend made a special trip to visit. Ueno talked to him. The latter was frightened and frankly confessed that he was responsible for his daughter. It was not too late to hold the wedding. Ueno heard this and turned his anger into joy. After Chizuruko got married, Ueno put all his efforts and love into the puppy and named it Hachi. Every day when he commutes to get off work, Hachi must wait at Shibuya Station. The four seasons of the year, rain or shine, amaze passers-by and become a local landscape.
"The Tale of the Loyal Dog Hachiko" created the "routine" of the movie with dogs as the cutest pet on the screen, that is, the dog's loyalty runs through the movie from beginning to end. Since then, "Ten Promises between Dogs and Me" and "Guide Dog Q" have all inherited the unique warmth of silent companionship in "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", making the dog's healing image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Hachiko, a name that makes me want to cry when I hear it, thank you for your presence, let us know such a beautiful story, such a lovely you.
