help Hachi: A Dog's Tale FAQ
Is Hachi: A Dog's Tale based on a true story?
Yes, it adapts the story of Hachiko, an Akita who continued visiting Tokyo's Shibuya Station after his owner Hidesaburo Ueno died. The American film relocates the story to a fictional Rhode Island town and casts Richard Gere as professor Parker Wilson.
How long did the real Hachiko wait for his owner?
Hachiko continued returning to Shibuya Station for roughly nine years after Ueno's death in 1925. He died in 1935, so claims that he waited for nearly two decades are inaccurate.
Where is the Hachiko statue shown in the story?
A famous bronze statue of Hachiko stands outside Shibuya Station in Tokyo and serves as a popular meeting place. The current statue was installed after World War II because the original 1934 monument was recycled during the war.
Is Hachi: A Dog's Tale a remake of a Japanese film?
It is an English-language adaptation of the same story dramatized in the 1987 Japanese film Hachiko Monogatari. The 2009 film was directed by Lasse Hallström and co-stars Joan Allen.
