Hachiko Dog Small Plush Toy

Meet me back over 100 years ago. I’m Hachikō, the faithful plush Akita from Tokyo. Known to wait for my dearest friend at Shibuya Station, did I become Japan’s most enduring symbol of loyalty?

All the way back in the Taishō era, I was born when train travel was still a marvel. From our home in Aoyama, I waited each day at Professor Ueno’s train stop, rain or shine.

People began to notice. They brought me treats, shared my story in newspapers, and somehow, I taught those around me what loyalty truly means.

With my signature curled tail and charming puppy ears, I’m a plush for the devoted, the sentimental, and anyone who believes in true friendship.
