The Akita is a large breed originally bred in Japan. Akitas are beautiful animals and very loyal. On the other hand, their dominant and territorial instincts make them potentially dangerous around other animals and strangers. Small spaces such as apartments and condos are problematic because of a general lack of indoor and outdoor space, and then there's the constant movement of strangers in hallways. An Akita will love you, but small spaces are a no-go.
