“A legendary hitman-turned-shopkeeper!” Netflix has revealed a fun first look teaser for a Japanese anime series called Sakamoto Days, arriving for streaming worldwide starting in January 2025. This is based on the already beloved manga of the same name, and is produced by TMS Entertainment & manga publisher Shueisha in Japan, with Masaki Watanabe (of “Battle Spirits”) directing. Legendary ex-hitman Sakamoto bands with comrades to face off against the looming threat of assassins to secure a peaceful life with his beloved family in this long-awaited anime adaptation. Taro ends up becoming a “plus sized” man living in a small town. Many of his former rivals & partners do not believe that he has truly left the business and show up in hopes of taking him out. Barred from killing, Sakamoto must find creative ways to subdue his enemies and prevent them from bringing harm to his family, his store, and the small town he resides in. This stars Tomokazu Sugita as the voice of Taro Sakamoto, along with Nao Tôyama, Ayane Sakura, Nobunaga Shimazaki, Hina Kino, and Miyari Nemoto. Looks like tons of fun – even for non-anime fans to enjoy.
Here’s the first look teaser trailer for Masaki Watanabe’s series Sakamoto Days, from Netflix’s YouTube:
When Sakamoto meets Aoi, a convenience store clerk, it’s love at first sight—and just like that, he retires. Taro Sakamoto gets married, has a daughter, opens a mom-&-pop store in a quiet town, and transforms… into a plus-size man. To ensure a peaceful life with his beloved family, the legendary ex–hit man bands together with comrades to face off against the looming threat of assassins. Sakamoto and company run wild in no-holds-barred, over-the-top battles that have stolen the spotlight and captivated audiences far & wide. In a world overrun by assassins, like the special force “The Order” from the Japanese Association of Assassins and a mysterious individual called “X (Slur),” Sakamoto questions the true meaning of strength. Sakamoto Days is directed Japanese animation filmmaker Masaki Watanabe, of the series “Bâtendâ” and “KADO: The Right Answer”, plus all of the “Battle Spirits” series and movies. Adapted by Taku Kishimoto. Based on the hit manga written & illustrated by Yuto Suzuki – who is also an executive producer. Netflix will release Sakamoto Days streaming on Netflix worldwide starting January 2025 early next year. Who’s in?
