An Akita makes for a great guard dog and at the same time a lovable companion. Through experience, Akitas are one of the best dogs to have, as well as Golden Retrievers, and occasionally Rotweilers. Also, unless you're planning on using the dog for hunting or some sort of show, don't crop it's ears and tail.
I'm not a cat person, but if you're going to be on your own I see no problem. Too bad you're not for Siamese, I was going to recommend getting one of those.
