Akira started his ballet education at the Western Ballet Theatre under the direction of Nana Badrena where he was first introduced to the classical arts. He then studied under Beth McLeish under her conservatory, Project Ballet, formerly New American Youth Ballet. Her teaching eventually led Akira to becoming accepted to the School of American Ballet where he was awarded the Jerome Robbins Foundation Scholarship to study until he received a full-scholarship to the San Francisco Ballet School. He finished his education under the direction of Patrick Armand and closely with his primary teacher Pascal Molat. 

Akira first joined the Grand Rapids Ballet as an apprentice where he spent two seasons under James Sofranko as Artistic Director. He went on to perform with the United Ballet Theatre and Ballet RI formerly Festival Ballet Providence. He then joined Artistic Director Roy Kaiser to dance with the Nevada Ballet Theatre.
