friends to arrive.Hachiko, an Akita dog,was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner,

Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the start. Each day Hachiko would

accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left for work.

When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him. Sadly, the professor

died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.

Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong and he

continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a time, though some

believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street vendors. He became a familiar sight

the bullies, by punching them or hitting them with a baseball bat.

violence in the game, it is just an amusing look at school life, besides which, the violence in the game is

directed against the bullies to protect pupils who are being bullied. The makers also say that players will

learn to stand up to bullies.
