Considering the numerous references to other series such as Rurouni Kenshin and even TMNT its very plausable that thats where Akatsuki's name comes from. You are extremely naive if you think all anime, manga, and LN are entirely original or do not make references to other popular series. Theres an entire genre devoted to referencing and parodying other popular series.
