AKARI, the Japanese infrared satellite launched at February 2006, have a primary mirror of 70cm diameter cooled with the combination of liquid helium and mechanical coolers. It had unique capabilities of near-infrared spectroscopy in the wavelength between 2um and 5um, all-sky survey in the mid- and far-infrared as well as broadband filters consecutively covering the near-, mid- and far-infrared wavelengths. Using the point source catalog in the AKARI Mid-infrared All-Sky Survey, we are searching for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), not only normal AGNs but also dusty AGNs, in the local Universe. AKARI provides remarkable improvement in sensitivity and spatial resolution upon the previous all-sky survey with IRAS. We are performing the follow-up observations of mid-infrared sources showing red-color in the near- and mid-infrared bands with the AKARI near-infrared spectroscopy and the ground-based optical spectroscopy. During the follow-up observations, we have started to detect hidden AGNs located in galaxies that were previously unrecognized to contain an AGN at other wavelengths.
