Akai è un marchio di strumenti musicali elettronici e di prodotti di elettronica di consumo, fondata nel 1929 come Akai Electric Company Ltd., un'azienda manifatturiera giapponese. "Akai" in Giapponese "rosso": da qui il colore del logo. La sua sede principale è oggi a Singapore, in quanto filiale del gruppo cinese Nimble Holdings, con sede ad Hong Kong, che aveva precedentemente acquistato i marchi giapponesi Nakamichi e Sansui.
