Potato and Kazuya Fukuda’s eldest daughter (Provided by Kazuya Fukuda)
On a rainy, cold morning more than a decade ago, Kazuya Fukuda was having breakfast with his wife when they heard a meow outside.
When he looked outside a window in the dining room, he saw a soaking wet kitten on a planter. Fukuda noticed a crow on a nearby utility pole as if it were stalking its prey.
But Fukuda had to go to work that day, on Nov. 13, 2009, still worried about the tiny feline's fate.
When he came home that night, he found that his wife had welcomed the kitten into their home.
