Kitataiki Akeyoshi (北太樹 明義, born 5 October 1982) is a former professional sumo wrestler from Machida City, Tokyo, Japan.

Another year in jūryō, ending with his first career yūshō or division championship after a three-way playoff with Kōryū and Tokusegawa, put him back in makuuchi for the second time in January 2010.

In this tournament he defeated ōzeki Kotomitsuki but failed to secure a winning record; losing his last three matches to finish on 7–8.

He generally maintained a consistent enough performance to remain in the mid-level top division ranks, but never won a special prize.

He quickly bounced back and won his second jūryō championship in January 2015 to earn re-promotion to the top division for the March 2015 tournament.

This shikona combines the "kita" of Kitanoumi and "taiki" meaning large tree and symbolizing strength and growth.
