Even though they're all based off of The Three Kingdoms, there are a number of anime and manga that have characters with names like Kanu Unchou and Chouhi Ekitoku
I couldn't think of any others at the moment so I felt I should point those out

You're right, there are plenty of characters called Akira (and surprisingly, I like most of them :3)

Haruhi, Hikaru, Sakura, Sasuke.
It could just be that they're popular names in Japan though.
You find the same thing on American television, honestly.
