The Statue of Hachiko was made in honor of the most loyal dog in Japan: it was an Akita dog that would accompany its owner, a University Professor, to Shibuya Station every day in the 1920s. He would go back to the station by himself when it was time for the professor to come back from work. One day his owner, Eizaburo Ueno, didn't return because he died while he was in the University. Since then, Hachiko returned to the same spot of the station to wait on his owner for the next nine years, hoping some day he would come back.
When the dog died, he was cremated and burried next to Ueno, and the news made headlines across the country.
