HACHIKOU was the answer to the previous post quiz.
*8 : eight in Japanese= HACHI: ハチ in katakana
*Public : kanji part KOU : 公
*Shibuya : It has a popular statue in Shibuya.
The first time i knew about this statue was from the anime "CHO GALS!!" which took place mostly in Shibuya, where it appears several times.
(The anime is very nice and funny! i just saw a couple of episodes only, i couldnt get the rest >_<)
I knew the story of this dog but never knew the name of it until Saqf san mentioned its name in one of his posts! (im glad i finally knew hachikou 's name!)
Now to the story of Hachikou : Hachikou was a very faithful dog(faithful dog hachikou :忠犬ハチ公), he always used to see his master off at the shibuya station and always waited him to come back at the end of the day.
When his master died, he kept coming to the station everyday waiting for his master. He did so for 11 years! (sniff sad story T_T )
People were amazed by how faithful hachikou was, so they built a statue after him. (important dog! ^^ )
These were images i took from the net.I hope one day ill be able to write another post with images of hachikou taken by my own camera! \(^o^) /
You can visit HACHIKOU on wikipedia for more details.
Hope you enjoyed it!
See you next post!

ハチ公の話はとても感動的ですよね。ハチ公の話は映画にもなって、ハチ公が子犬のときが、ほんとにかわいかったですよ。ハチ公は秋田犬という種類で、とても頭のいい犬だそうです。
