Synopsis: Hachiko, the legendary Japanese akita, proves that there is nothing more loyal than mans best friend in this modern retelling of a cherished true story. It all begins when a college professor adopts an abandoned dog named Hachiko. The two form such a strong bond that Hachiko walks with the professor to the train station each morning and returns to the station each evening to walk the professor home again. The routine continues until one day the professor does not return to the train station. Hachiko, however, does not give up. He returns to the same train station at the same time, faithfully waiting for his owner to return. Hachiko does this for more than nine years, until his own death. This heartwarming tale that is already the stuff of legend in Japan is finally making its way to America by way of prominent director Lasse Hallström. With an equally capable cast, the experience of Hachikos unending loyalty is certain to stay with you. Hachikos story is one of love, unwavering devotion, and the resounding impact one dogs affection can make.

Profesor Hidesaburō Ueno: Hachikō greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, The professor had suffered a stroke at the university. Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Hachikō went to look for him at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day 4 10 years he waited but his master never returned.
Japanese Akita's are different from the typical grey/black american version. Beautiful Dogs.
Hachiko returned to the station every night at the same time for 10 years!!!!
This is a true story the Japanese were so proud that In April 1934, a bronze statue in his likeness was erected at Shibuya Station and Hachikō himself was present at its unveiling.
It's not possible to watch the entire movie in Youtube. You should better search some online websites where you can watch it. Otherwise, rent a DVD, go to the cinema or register on some torrents website and download it.
I have just seen this remake of the Japanese story, and even though I didn't see the original movie, I feel that Hollywood did a good job. The soundtrack was amazing and really touching! Additionally, they even mention at the end some facts about the real Hachiko, and show a picture of the bronze statue that has been built in honor of the dog in front of the Shibuya railroad station. I am glad they made the remake because I otherwise wouldn't have known this beautiful story!!!
