No they are not, you can tell because the Akita tend to grow much bigger that the shiba inu. They are related to one another,but they are different.

Do shiba inus shed?
Yes, shiba inus shed. They are most known for "blowing" (completely losing their undercoat) their coats twice a year. They also shed during the rest of the year, but not to the same level as many short-haired breeds. Regular, frequent grooming will not only help deal with this, it will also accustom your Shiba to handling. Start grooming as soon as your Shiba enters your household, because if you delay, you'll have a hell of a time getting your dog to accept ear cleaning and nail trimming.
Are shiba dogs soft?
If you mean shiba inus, yes, they are fairly soft. their fur has almost the same texture as a huskies, with is not very soft, except a shiba's is thinner, making it more downy and fluffy. As a puppy, their fur will be very soft, and as they get older it will loose its fluff, but proper grooming and care will keep your dog soft for a long time.
What is the difference between a Japanese akita and a shiba inu?
First of all, a Shiba Inu dog is Japanese. A Jin Do dog is THE MOST intelligent dog of all of Korea and is highly, VERY highly respected and honored in Korea and is the most expensive dog in the whole country. Shiba Inus are way smaller than Jin Dos and Jin Dos need more excercise. Jin Dos are GENERALLY more smarter than shibas (not meaning that shibas aren't smart, they are). Also, Jin Dos are highly loyal to their owners and they will refuse to listen to anyone but their owner. If you try to give away a Jin do, he will refuse to listen to the new owner. Jin Dos are more wolfish while Shibas look less wild and wolfish.
Are Akita Inus good guard dogs?
best dog is the japanese akita because it is purebred and really protective.The american akita is also protective buy it is not purebred and looks a little like a bulldog so I prefer an akita inu
Where can you get a shiba inu for a pet?
You can get them nearly anywhere if you know where to look. Most pet stores have them, its just because they get sold out so quickly and they only come in once every 2 months that it is hard to get them. You can type up on google on a pet store list of all the stores in your area. Normally, there will be a phone number next to the addresses of the pet stores. You can try calling each one of them and ask if they have any puppies in stock. I highly recommend finding a breeder instead. Most Shiba Inu puppies in pet stores are not pure bred and "unique". I know this because every time I have seen a Shiba Inu in a pet store, they lacked their famous "eye mark", as I call it, characteristic. Once you master Shiba Inus, you will notice that ALL unique Shibas will have the same, special eye mark right above their eyes like a little dent that makes them look handsome and Asian (not to be racist, but I am Asian myself). You can find breeders by looking it up on google. There is nothing you can't find on google. Just type in the search box your state and "shiba inu puppy breeder". You are very likely to find tons of breeders in your state. If you are unsuccessful in finding a good breeder for you, type up "shiba inu puppy sale" and your state. Most likely, you will find tons of websites that are selling shiba inu puppies. For example, www.k9stud.com sells puppies and you can also find puppies at www.pupcity.com and at http://la.oodle.com/sale/pet/dog/-/pet_breed_shiba_inu/ The 3rd address (httpK//la.oodle. etc) has lots of shiba inus all over from the country. Some of them are mixed but you can always contact the seller for information. I highly recommend looking at the site www.icewindfarm.com for shiba inu information and puppy pictures and adult pictures. The website is a breeder's website in new jersey but it holds many good information and tons of puppies to choose from.
