The Japanese proper name is Akita (a prefecture name), also applied to a dog breed, the Akita Inu.
The American Akita is a separate breed from the Japanese Akita Inu and is recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC). It originated in the United States by crossing the Japanese Akita Inu with various other breeds like Mastiffs and Great Danes. This has resulted in a larger, more robust dog compared to the Japanese Akita Inu.
i know of 3 breeds. shiba inu, akita inu (aka akita) and Japanese chin. chow chow is either Japanese or Chinese but I'm not sure
Akita. This type of dog is a very good breed. I highly recommend getting one.

The Akita- 秋田 or Akita Ken- 秋田犬(kanji)・アキタケン(katakana) is a Breed of large dog originating in Japan, named for Akita Prefecture, where it is thought to have originated. "Inu"- 犬 means "dog" in Japanese, although in practice this animal is nearly always referred as "Akita-ken," based on the Sino-Japanese reading of the same kanji.
the Japanese akita inu was created in world war 2, the story is there was a Japanese mother with 3 kids in world war 2 and she had to leave her home to go find her and her kids food and water but she couldent leave them alone, so she bred her 2 dogs toghether and made the Japanese akita inu to protect her kids. there also known as the babysitter dogs. after that mothers all around the world leave there kids in the safe hands of the Japanese akita inu. in japan when someone is sick or having a baby there family and friends give them a statue of the Japanese akita inu for a symble of good luck and loyalty. the Japanese akita inu is a, loyal, corageus, very very smart, great with kids, protective dog, they are made for babysitting children and protecting there family even if it means his or her life. he will die for you. hatchi was a Japanese akita inu too. as the Americans ruined the Japanese akits inu by breeding them with something else and making the American akita. the American akitas story is, these Americans were jelouse of how stong and loyal the Japanese akita inus were, so they took one and bred it with a whole bunch of diffarend dogs to try to out bid the Japanese akits inu. so the dogs they have now are American akits and they are so diffarent, they, are bigger (not better at all), stronger, more diffarent. the American akita is not good with clildren. needs a strong leader. needs to know who is the alpha. the American akita is now made for killing brear and big game. and dog fighting too. if you have children of any age i highly recomend the Japanese akita inu.
