Sakamoto Days

Legend meets domestic life when an untouchable assassin decides to hang up his weapons for a quiet retail job. Produced by TMS Entertainment and hitting screens in the winter of 2025, Sakamoto Days delivers a high-octane blend of action and comedy. Taro Sakamoto was once the most feared hitman in the underworld, but after falling in love, he let himself go, becoming a bespectacled convenience store owner. Despite his newfound peace and dad-bod, old habits die hard. Bounty hunters and former assassin colleagues continuously disrupt his quiet life, leading to wildly over-the-top chases and fight scenes. Across its 11 episodes, the series maintains a solid 7.7 score by pairing brutal, highly choreographed combat with absurd visual gags. It is a joyful celebration of the almighty hero trope, proving that an adult cast can deliver incredible thrills.
