Meet back over 100 years with Hachikō, the faithful plush Akita from Shibuya. A collectible companion shaped by history, did he become Japan’s most beloved symbol of loyalty?
Inspired by the real dog who waited faithfully each day at Shibuya Station in 1924, Hachikō is crafted in heirloom style, with the signature curled tail of the Akita and a story of loyalty that transcends generations.
As Tokyo rushed ahead, Hachikō returned each day to wait for the professor he loved. Locals brought treats, newspapers shared his story, and a nation embraced him as a symbol of devotion.
This plush honours loyalty and a love that endures, timeless in both spirit and form.
