Here’s a synopsis: Follow the action-packed story of legendary ex-hitman Taro Sakamoto, as he bands with comrades to face off against the looming threat of assassins to ensure a peaceful life with his beloved family. Sakamoto and company run wild in no-holds-barred, over-the-top battles that have stolen the spotlight and captivated audiences far and wide. In a world overrun by assassins like the special force “The Order” from the Japanese Association of Assassins (JAA), and a mysterious individual called “X (Slur)” targeting assassins, what is the true meaning of strength for Sakamoto? Get ready for non-stop assassin action as chaos ensues in the ordinary (and not-so-ordinary) life of Sakamoto and his comrades!
The English voice cast includes Matthew Mercer as Taro Sakamoto, Dallas Liu as Shin Asakura, Rosalie Chiang (Turning Red) as Lu Shaotang, Rosie Okumura as Aoi Sakamoto, Xolo Maridueña as Heisuke Mashimo, Aleks Le as Nagumo, Alexa Bliss as Obiguro, SungWon Cho as Boiled, Du-Shaunt “Fik-Shun” Stegall as Son Hee, Toru Uchikado as Bacho.
“The most exciting thing about being involved with Sakamoto Days is getting to work with Xolo and Aleks,” Dallas shared with Tudum. “But also I was a huge fan of the manga before coming onto the project, so being a part of it as Shin — the one and only — I’m super excited.”
“Voice acting is something I’ve never been able to do before, and this getting to be my first project is super surreal for me,” he added. “I’m super excited for people to watch.”
Sakamoto Days will premiere on January 11th on Netflix, with one new episode released weekly. Part two will then premiere in July 2025.
