Sakamoto Days anime sets January 2025 release date on Netflix: Watch the teaser!

An anime adaptation that many people have been waiting for will finally be coming out soon. However, not as soon as this year. It'll be released on Netflix at the top of 2025 in January. We're talking about the anime adaptation of the hit Japanese manga series Sakamoto Days.

Sakamoto Days is an upcoming Netflix anime based on Yuto Suzuki's manga of the same name. TMS Entertainment, the same animation company behind popular anime such as Dr. Stone and Baki, is signed on to produce and animate the adaptation. In addition, Masaki Watanabe, who is known for helming the anime series Kado: The Right Answer, will direct.

The anime will revolve around the legendary ex-hitman Taro Sakamoto, who finds his peaceful life as a family man disrupted when adversaries from his past come seeking revenge. In order to ensure his and his beloved family's safety, Sakamoto is forced to come out of retirement to take down those who want him dead.

The voice cast is made up of a bunch of well-known Japanese voice actors such as Tomokazu Sugita (Taro Sakamoto), Nobunaga Shimazaki (Shin Asakura), Ayane Sakura (Lu Shaotang), Nao Toyama (Aoi Sakamoto), Hina Kino (Hana Sakamoto), and Ryota Suzuki (Heisuke Mashimo).
