Akimasa Nakamura (中村 彰正, Nakamura Akimasa, fl. 1990s) (born 1961) is a Japanese astronomer. He is a prolific observer of asteroids and comets, as well as a discoverer of minor planets. He has worked extensively at the Kuma Kogen Astronomical Observatory near Kuma, Ehime Prefecture, where he remains a staff member. His observations of asteroid brightness are well known.
Nakamura is also member of the Yamaneko Group of Comet Observers.[2] He named main-belt asteroid 44711 Carp for his favorite baseball team, the Hiroshima Carp,[3] and named 9081 Hideakianno after Japanese animation and film director, Hideaki Anno.
The asteroid 10633 Akimasa,[4] orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, is named after him and was named in 1999 to coincide with his becoming a father.
