%X For a complex toric variety $X$ the logarithmic absolute value induces a natural retraction of $X$ onto the set of its non-negative points and this retraction can be identified with a quotient of $X(\mathbb{C})$ by its big real torus. We prove an analogous result in the non-Archimedean world: The Kajiwara-Payne tropicalization map is a non-Archimedean analytic stack quotient of $X^{an}$ by its big non-Archimedean analytic torus. Along the way, we provide foundations for a geometric theory of non-Archimedean analytic stack, particularly focussing on analytic groupoids and their quotients, the process of analytification, and the underlying topological spaces of analytic stacks.
