Devotion Hachiko accompanied Ueno every day to the Shibuya train station for his commute and returned to meet him at the end of the day. After Ueno's death in 1935, Hachiko continued to visit the station daily, waiting for his owner. Death Hachiko was found dead on the streets of Shibuya at the age of 11.
