SAKAMOTO DAYS
What is SAKAMOTO DAYS?
Sakamoto Days is an action-comedy ONA that follows a legendary hitman who walked away from his violent past for love and family. After meeting Aoi at a convenience store, Sakamoto abandons his dangerous career, marries, has a daughter, and settles into a quiet life running a small shop—though his appearance has changed considerably over the years. Now a middle-aged family man, he must draw on his old skills and reconnect with former allies when assassins begin targeting his peaceful existence. The series balances high-stakes action sequences with humor centered on Sakamoto's new domestic reality and his determination to protect what matters most.
This eleven-episode series completed its winter 2025 run as a Netflix original. The format allowed the story to unfold as a complete narrative rather than a traditional seasonal split, with early episodes streaming on Netflix Japan before wider release. The blend of comedy and action makes it accessible to viewers seeking entertaining combat scenes without requiring the investment of a multi-season commitment.
When Sakamoto meets Aoi, the convenience store clerk, it’s love at first sight — and just like that, he retires. Sakamoto gets married, has a daughter, opens a mom-and-pop store in a quiet town, and completely 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.
