But for me – too much red, too much. And you are right that now it’s only question of judicial opinion. About urajiro at brindle akita - many times I heared at judging seminars that very nice then brindle akita has white marks at face, chest and neck (from below), legs and tail. BUT - it an Ideal. And Ideal - when white marks very symmetric and NOT BIG. Too much white - the same like "too much red". And every time japanese JUDGES (not breeders of course) told that not some difference - akatora or kurotora, the most important - good dog with correct coloration.
yes. this is another thing - lights. there are different colours on pictures because of different lights :)
but still it's akatora, which isn't anything bad in my opinion. Like here, very nice female, also 'akatora' - red brindle:
(i think it's Shun'You Kensha's baby)
or famous Akikomachi (World Winner) from Ikenohatade
i just like such colour i suppose :) and i know there are many funs of this colouring, and as far as many judges not only approve it but price highly on important dog shows, then i could let myself to have such puppies too :)
(another thing is that i know many akitas that were very red brindle when they were young and got more silver, blue-brindle when they got older... with brindles it can be sometimes surprising:) ).
and i think the same, like those japanese judges - that most important is the whole impression - if everything is harmonicly ok, the head, body, movement and correct colouring.
Also with red colour it's so difficult because there are so many red colours in fact :), five different red akitas will stand near each other and you will see five different colours. But it's always called 'red'.
The same with types pf head or even body - there are at least few of them. I don't know if it's the same with other breedings but in the Akita breed it's very common.

but maybe some japanese can tell "too much white" too...
but I like her - because she is very nice girl and white marks very symmetrical
We all want to have Ideal akita
isn't?
yes, i think most of us try to get most perfect akita - that's the breeding - the whole process and way to achieve this aim.
p.s. I've seen Ichirou from your breeding - that's the type i like, definitely :)
