Trivia

 * Her name originates from a Japanese breed of dogs, which is also a prefecture in Japan.
 * Her appearance, in both human and wolf form, resembles the character, Amaterasu, in the video game, Ōkami. It's unknown if this was intentional or not.
 * It is quite possible based on Ninjago's frequent use of Asian mythology and Akita's unique attributes that she is a Yōkai, as there are many Yōkai who shapeshift into animals with unusual traits.
 * A similar example is the Kitsune, a nine-tailed fox and shapeshifter, similar to Akita being a three-tailed wolf.
 * It's unknown if she's the last of her kind, as she mentioned that the Ice Emperor destroyed her people.
 * In a trailer, she said she seeks revenge. It is unknown who or what she seeks revenge on.
 * It could be the Ice Emperor, or another unknown person or creature in the Never-Realm.
