Mika Akitaka (明貴 美加 Akitaka Mika) is a Japanese mechanical designer probably best known for his work on the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Gundam|{{#if:||Gundam}}]] giga-franchise, particularly critical darlings like [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket|{{#if:War in the Pocket|War in the Pocket|Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket}}]] and [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory|{{#if:Stardust Memory|Stardust Memory|Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory}}]]. He briefly worked as a toy designer for TakaraTomy on the original Generation 1 franchise before being snapped up by competitor [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Bandai|{{#if:||Bandai}}]] after the commercial success of his designs caught their attention, perhaps a little too well.
