Hōjō Akitoki (北条顕時; 1248 – 7 May 1301)[1] was a Japanese military leader during the Kamakura period (1185–1333). He was the third head of the Kanesawa-<i>ryū</i> of the Hōjō clan.
Akitoki was the son of Kanezawa Sanetoki and a daughter of Hōjō Masamura.[2] In 1257 Akitoki had his genpuku coming-of-age ceremony under the tokusō Hōjō Tokiyori and took the name Tokikata (時方). In 1260 he became a guard of the shōgun; he attended Prince Munetaka and studied poetry and other subjects.[3] He may have married Mugai Nyodai, but that is disputed, with some believing she was married to Hōjō Sanetoki.[4]
Akitoki died 7 May 1301[1] and was succeeded by his son Hōjō Sadaaki.[5] Akitoki's grave is in Shōmyō-ji in Kanagawa.[3] He is said to have had a love of learning, like his father,[6] and to have contributed to the establishment of the Kanazawa Bunko.[3]
