context_page_description: Hōjō Akitoki was a Japanese military leader during the Kamakura period. He was the third head of the Kanesawa-ryū of the Hōjō clan.
  Akitoki was the son of Kanezawa Sanetoki and a daughter of Hōjō Masamura. In 1257 Akitoki had his genpuku coming-of-age ceremony under the tokusō Hōjō Tokiyori and took the name Tokikata. In 1260 he became a guard of the shōgun; he attended Prince Munetaka and studied poetry and other subjects. He may have married Mugai Nyodai, but that is disputed, with some believing she was married to Hōjō Sanetoki.
  Akitoki died 7 May 1301 and was succeeded by his son Hōjō Sadaaki. Akitoki's grave is in Shōmyō-ji in Kanagawa. He is said to have had a love of learning, like his father, and to have contributed to the establishment of the Kanazawa Bunko.
