Hakiro

Hakiro is the het ship between Haku and Chihiro from the Spirited Away fandom.

Canon
Haku finds Chihiro on the bridge to the bathhouse and hurriedly tells her to get back across the river before nightfall. After witnessing her parents' transformations into gluttonous pigs, however, Chihiro panics and runs off. Haku searches for her and once he finds her, tells her that she is becoming invisible and gives her some food, insisting her to eat it or she'll fade away. Chihiro reluctantly agrees and returns back to normal.

According to Zeniba, only true love can break the curse on Haku. In the next scene, Chihiro is flying back to Yubaba's house on dragon Haku's back. As they fly, Chihiro tells Haku of the time when she fell in a river and thought she was going to drown- but he saved her. Then she says the name of the river was Kohaku, which broke the curse and caused Haku to revert back to human form. Chihiro and Haku intertwine their hands as they fall, and Chihiro is crying as she stares at Haku.

At the end of the movie, where they've both been freed from Yubaba, Haku promises Chihiro that they will meet again before letting go. He watches her go to find her parents.
