Comment/Review:
Hachi is actually a racoon dog, called a tanuki in Japan. They are members of the canine family, and therefore more closely related to dogs than they are to racoons or badgers. Tanuki are found across most of Asia, and are often depicted as tricksters in folklore. Because many Westerners are unfamiliar with them, tanuki are usually called racoons or badgers in translations, which adds to the confusion.

Actually Hachi is neither, he's a Tanuki or Raccoon Dog I think they're related to standard raccoons but they aren't. I also think I heard that they range all the way to France, as in they live all over the place. Hope this helps.

Hate to tell you this. He's a Racoon. There's stories in Japan that Raccoons have the ability to change form and appearance, he's based off of those myths.
