"SAKAMOTO DAYS" is based on the popular manga written by Yuto Suzuki, serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha). The total worldwide print circulation has exceeded 15 million copies. The story follows Taro Sakamoto (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita), the strongest hitman who has retired and now runs the peaceful Sakamoto Store in a tranquil town. To protect his beloved family and peaceful everyday life, he takes on a series of relentless assassins—a “neo-action story of the ordinary meets the extraordinary.” The highly anticipated second cour of the anime began airing in July 2025.
