Akiko is simply the person who put this in the kiln, as they fire the finish with other peoples pieces also. Like some of your other pieces, but did not look closely at them. I used to go to one big shop that sold ready made pieces called whiteware and there is also similar ones called greenware. This looks like whiteware and the shops also taught painting classes where you paint the piece you bought there and then fire in the kiln. To avoid confusion you sign your piece so it isn't confused with others. I helped in the painting teaching in some classes when I had time. They sold some very small pieces like a small pot to pedastals and large statue busts also. Not as well known in todays culture or lack of it.
