Plot Summary[edit]
If you happen to be passing through Shibuya Railway Station, in the chaotic heart of Tokyo, you are certain to come across a small bronze statue of a dog. This is Hachiko, the "Loyal Akita Inu of Japan", who waited faithfully at that exact spot for almost ten years in the hope of his deceased master's return. Shibuya Station provides the background for this fact and fiction tale. Every afternoon our hero unfailingly meets the incoming three o'clock train, seeking the one familiar face that means so much to him - that of Master Ueno.
A mysterious kidnapping sets Hachi and his friends on a trail that twists and turns through the Tokyo of the 1920s. Can Hachiko overcome his worst fear to win the day? Readers will meet a host of extravagant animal and human characters: Maro, the lovable vagabond, tender-hearted P. D. Goro, and Debbie - Hachi's fox terrier confidant.
This illustrated story for all ages is dedicated to the loyal dog Hachiko', beloved the whole world over, on his 85th Memorial Anniversary.
