> Hachikō was born on November 10, 1923, at a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture.

> In 1924, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University, brought him to live in Shibuya, Tokyo, as his pet.

> Hachikō would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home.

> This continued until May 21, 1925, when Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage while at work.

> From then until his death on March 8, 1935, Hachikō would return to Shibuya Station every day to await Ueno's return.

> During his lifetime, the dog was held up in Japanese culture as an example of loyalty and fidelity.

> Since his death, he continues to be remembered worldwide in popular culture with statues, movies and books.

> Hachikō is also known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公, 'faithful dog Hachikō'), with the suffix -kō originating as one once used for ancient Chinese dukes; in this context, it was an affectionate addition to his name Hachi.
