Akira Wood, Inc., founded by its namesake president Akira back in 1977, has become well-known for its craftsmanship in architectural woodworking, all from its base in Gainesville, Florida.

These high-profile projects secured Akira's reputation as a top-tier architectural woodwork company both regionally and nationally. Today, under the leadership of President Glenn A. Shitama with Vice Steering Team Officer Ben A. Shitama, Akira continues to uphold its tradition of excellence in creating exquisite woodwork installations across commercial establishments nationwide.
