Meet Ryuji, The Most Expressive Shiba From Japan
Stella Community member
Meet Ryuji, a 7-year-old Shiba Inu pup whose ‘macho’ expressions are taking over Instagram. Life’s ruff when you’re this emotional.
The Okayama canine serves face to some 127 thousand followers every day, and it’s hard not to fall in love with such a fluffy, cuddly-looking character. His distinctive tongue and grin say more than words ever could, and he always sports a dapper bandanna – even a small hat when the mood strikes!
Shiba Inus are a uniquely Japanese breed known for their good nature. They shot to superstardom in 2013 when a female Shiba become the face of the infamous Doge meme. If he keeps charming the world with his adorable daily adventures, Ryuji just might become a meme himself very soon.

Hachiko is not a breed, it is the name of the dog from the movie "Hachi", who is an Akita. Just saying. :p
I don't think that Emre actually thought that hachiko is the breed.. And in my opinion shiba inu and akita do remind each other atleast a little bit. No need for your showing off here. Just saying. :p
Rather, he waited at Shibuya station for his master to return... either way 😢😭
Hachikō was a real dog who waited for his dead master to return from work at Shibuya station in Tokyo every day for nine years.

Also, Ryuji isn't an Akita, he's a Shiba Inu... know your dogs🐕🙄
No one is saying that Ryuji is an Akita :P no need to be such an ass
I miss doge =( such wow!
Doge is not dead, it was an April fools joke! In very poor taste in my opinion!
Oh, good! They had me fooled. 😢
much woof :)
Super cute puppers... but from this and other Bored Panda headlines, I feel as though instagram must just be a "storm" of dogs, cats and children
lol it basically is..that and celebs.
