Hachiko Monogatari
Hachikō Monogatari (Japanese: ハチ公物語, Hepburn: Hachikō monogatari) is a 1987 Japanese film starring Tatsuya Nakadai, Kaoru Yachigusa, Mako Ishino and Masumi Harukawa. The film, directed by Seijirō Kōyama, is a tragic, true story about Hachiko, an Akita dog who was loyal to his master, Professor Ueno, even after Ueno's death. The film was released in 1987 and was the top Japanese film at the box office that year.
Hachikō Monogatari is a melodramatic film that tells the true story of friendship, trust, and affection of Japan's most faithful dog "Hachikō", whose bronze statue, to this day, stands watch over Shibuya Station, Tokyo.
I knew there was one but Netflix didn't have it. I'll see if i can get it by other means. Like most "remakes" I am certain the original is probably better / more authentic.
