Hachiko was born at a farm in Akita Prefecture on November 10, 1923.
A year later, he was adopted by Ueno, who brought him to Tokyo.
He was found on a street in Shibuya, and promptly carried to the Station baggage room.

The photo was published the following day in theYamato Shimbun.
Still, that was far from Hachiko’s appearance in the media.
His legacy lives on statues, books, documentaries, and movies that tell his tale of unwavering loyalty.
