About the Series
Tomokazu Sugita stars as Taro Sakamoto, a once-legendary assassin who retired after falling in love, got married, became a father — and put on a few pounds. Now the unassuming owner of a neighborhood convenience store, he must rise to protect his family when danger comes calling.
Suzuki first published a one-shot titled “Sakamoto” in Jump Giga in December 2019, then launched the full serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in November 2020. Viz Media and MANGA Plus publish the manga in English digitally, with Viz Media also releasing it in print.
Season 1 and Live-Action Film
The first anime season premiered on TV Tokyo and affiliated channels on January 11, 2025, simultaneously launching on Netflix. The season’s second part began airing on July 14 on TV Tokyo (at 24:00 JST), with Netflix streaming the first episode of that part in advance on the same day.
A live-action film adaptation directed and written by Yūichi Fukuda (live-action Gintama, Under Ninja) opened on April 29. The film debuted at #4 at the box office, selling 346,000 tickets and earning 478 million yen (approximately US$3.05 million) in its first three days. Over its first eight days — encompassing the entire Golden Week holiday period — it sold 1.14 million tickets and grossed 1.5 billion yen (approximately US$9.58 million).
