What Is Sakamoto Days About?
Created by Yuto Suzuki, Sakamoto Days follows the story of Taro Sakamoto, once Japan’s most feared hitman. After falling in love, he retires and opens a convenience store to live a quiet life. But when his old enemies come calling, Sakamoto is forced back into action, this time to protect his wife and child.
Part action comedy, part family drama, the series balances high-stakes fights with emotional stakes that hit just as hard.
