Appearance

History
While escaping from political persecution, Hachi encountered a bear and was saved by Toku and her relative, Pekushi. When asked about his name, he looked over at a stable of horses, counted to eight, and decided his name was Hachi from that.

Welcomed into their Ainu village, Toku and Pekushi figured out Hachi was on the run and offered him a place to stay if he worked for them. Unsure of his own future, Hachi didn't make any decisions. Some time later, the horses that the Ainu managed escaped from their fence; Hachi displayed his advanced horse riding and corralling skills to reclaim the horses and won universal approval for his abilities. While talking to Toku, she tried on Hachi's glasses and Hachi fell in love with her wearing them. Immediately in love, he quickly asked for her hand in marriage and Toku nonchalantly agreed on the spot to Pekushi's shock. Afterwards, Hachi married Toku and stayed in Hokkaido without ever being caught by the government.
