Sakamoto Days Premieres on Netflix in January
Legendary assassin Taro Sakamoto will claw his way out of retirement in two parts this coming year.
Just when he thought he was out, they pull him back in.
SAKAMOTO DAYS, based on the manga by Yuto Suzuki and published by Shonen Jump, is set to premiere on Netflix January 11th, 2025 in two parts. The series follows Taro Sakamoto, a legendary hitman in the criminal underground who, like other pop culture figures before him, decides to retire and live a normal life. But despite his best efforts, he just can’t escape the ongoing threat of death from no less than three clandestine criminal organizations. Now, the family man/convenience store owner has to return to his life of violence in order to protect the life he’s built.

Part one of the first season will release on a weekly basis starting January 11th for a total of eleven episodes, with the second half of the season releasing later in July.
