00:36 Happy birthday, Hatchie!

01:17 Why are you visiting the shrine of Hatchie Kong?
01:21 I don't know, but I love Hatchie, Hatchie Kong-san, for quite a long time.
01:26 It's such a touching story.
01:28 Even after the death of his father or master, he kept visiting Shibuya Station every day until he passed away.
01:37 So that's a touching story.
01:39 And also my family has kept dogs for generations.
01:42 [Music]
01:45 Here, you can see the sincere love of some for Hatchie.
01:50 [Music]
01:52 The story of loyalty or loyalty that he poured out for Professor Wenow is really touching.
01:59 [Music]
02:00 But I also heard a story in Japan that is intriguing and clear in some details of Hatchie Kong's life.
02:11 [Music]
02:20 Professor Masaru Mizuguchi also teaches in the same department where Professor Wenow belongs.
02:28 He is interested in the life of his professor and his student.
02:33 He said that Professor Wenow doesn't ride a train when he goes to work, as many people think.
02:41 The school he goes to is just near.
02:45 [Music]
02:47 Professor Wenow's house is 300 meters away from Shibuya Train Station, at the estimate of Mr. Saito.
02:56 He only rides a train whenever he goes to the provinces for his fieldwork as an agricultural scientist.
03:05 Professor Mizuguchi also believes that Hatchie Kong's story became more popular in the 1930s
03:13 because he used the Japanese military to teach loyalty or righteousness.
03:20 Japan was preparing to fight to other countries or something.
03:27 So the military want to educate people, especially younger generation, to be supported by the younger generation.
03:39 The Japanese military used that Hatchie story for the education to the children.
03:49 [Birds chirping]
03:53 Some of our speakers have heard this story.
03:57 I do not like the story when at the war time, Japanese military army used Hatchie to show the loyalty to his, you know, father.
04:07 I don't know. I hate that story.
04:09 Hatchie maybe was a very good, very popular among the public and also very good tool for the military.
04:17 [Music]
04:18 According to Professor Mizuguchi, there is also a story from the elderly that there is another reason why Hatchie Kong is always at the train station.
04:28 When I was also undergraduate student, my professor explained the reason why Hatchie went to Shibuya station every day.
04:42 According to that professor, Hatchie liked the yakitori, baked chicken.
04:49 When I hear that story, I start to love Hatchie Kong because Hatchie Kong is not a god, faithful dog.
05:03 Normal, usual dogs.
05:06 So that starting point, I like, I love Hatchie Kong.
05:17 Hatchie Kostachio Preservation Society also shared with us the story of his mother that she saw Hatchie going to Shibuya.
05:30 My mother was born and grew up near Shibuya station. According to my mother, she witnessed one dog catching something.
05:38 Despite this, Professor Mizuguchi still believes that Hatchie was also waiting for Professor Ueno.
05:49 Even though we talked to others, there is no doubt that Hatchie Kong is loyal.
05:56 You do believe that he is a loyal dog. He was loyal to the professor.
06:01 Yes, dogs are loyal. That's why they don't betray.
06:05 I believe that in the world, dogs excel at forming special connections with humans.
06:11 The bonds between dogs and people and the affection shared between humans and dogs are cherished globally.
06:17 How long will Hatchie Kong's memory last?
06:23 Everyone, please give a big round of applause.
