It’s never too late to be the hero of your own life story.

What is

The Hachi Spirit

Hachi is both a beloved, real-life legend and the namesake of the dog that inspired the film Hachi: A Dog’s Tale. The popular film is shaped by two profound inspirations: the historic story of Hachikō, Japan’s beloved and “most loyal dog,” and the real-life bond between Vicki and her canine companion Hachi.

Now celebrating the historic Hachikō’s 100th birthday, the film’s simple power has stood the test of time, inspiring all viewers seeking to tackle life’s challenges.

Hachi’s story includes pure joy but also upheaval, uncertainty, and sorrow. Yet through it all, he stays true to his nature, even when he feels lost. His tenacious love and passion guide him on his journey, and his loyalty and adventurous spirit transform the hearts of a community.
