That doesn't tell me a whole lot about them as a dog, just that they're antisocial. A bit more actual info, please? :/

From my experience with Akitas (owned one for most of my life, was good friends with three others), they're very needy. They need attention all the friggin' time and just go apeshit when you take them for walks and stuff. They're also extremely loyal and protective, making them excellent guard-dogs. They're wonderful (especially with kids), but they probably don't mix well with other dogs (though mine certainly had no problem with cats).

> Akitas grow 65-70cm high (shoulder) and can weigh 35 to 40 kilograms (Japanese type). Their ears are considered "the windows of the heart" and their eyes as "the mirror of the heart". This dog doesn't smell. Akitas are very clean animals who wash themselves like cats do, and they like to do their "business" in privacy. They may love hunting (silently) but they're not the hyperkinetic type! Akitas are calm and composed.
> Akitas love hunting, so they're not to be left off leash where there is game. However, something else provides an even stronger reason to keep an Akita in check: due to their natural arrogance, these dogs are very dominant towards dogs of the same sex, especially males. If the other dog doesn't admit defeat, it may "crash'n'burn". The same arrogance, but not aggression, goes toward humans most of the time: while Akitas won't bite or bark for nothing, they won't wag their tail for just anyone either. Even as the owner, you have to earn his respect or otherwise, he'll clearly show you that you can kiss his butt. Plus, the Akita is intelligent. They think before they obey. Don't bore them with "Sit, down, sit, down, sit, down" or he may just walk away.
