Captain Nero’s

Captain Nero Banner

Nero’s List was created by the Kai Ken Society of America to Honor, Respect and Celebrate our beloved Elder Kai Ken, defined for the purposes of the Captain’s List as a Kai dog who has reached the age of 13 years old.

Sai No Nero was a Kai Ken in Japan who lived to the age of 18 years and 7 months. His owner, Mr Hishinuma, shared photos from his daily walks with Nero each morning and ended each day with a photo wishing us all Good Night. Nero was beloved by Kai Ken enthusiasts all over the world and the long life and love he shared with his owner is a dream we all share in our relationships with our dogs.

Owners may nominate any purebred Kai Ken who has reached the age of 13 to be added to Captain Nero’s List. They will be issued an embossed certificate from the Kai Ken Society of America in recognition of their Kai dog’s long life well-lived and well-loved, designed for the KKSA by graphic designer Mr. Hishinuma, himself!

You do not need to be a member of the Kai Ken Society of America, though we welcome you to check us out and join if you wish!

If you would like to nominate your senior Kai to Nero’s List, please reach out to the club at: club@kaisociety.org
