Sakamoto Days

A retired hitman turned shopkeeper battles bounty hunters with a frying pan to protect his family.

Tarou Sakamoto was once the most feared assassin in the underworld, a legend whose name alone sent shivers down the spines of rival killers. After a whirlwind romance, he hung up his silenced pistols, settled down, and now runs a modest convenience store, his once-sculpted body softened by late‑night ramen and diaper changes. Yet the quiet life of a husband and father is constantly threatened by the shadows of his past. When his former partner Shin Asakura shows up, insisting on living under Sakamoto’s roof while adhering to a strict no‑kill policy, the former hitman is forced to juggle grocery stock, school runs, and the ever‑looming specter of his former clientele. A massive bounty is soon placed on Sakamoto’s head, drawing a parade of seasoned killers eager to claim the prize. What they don’t anticipate is that the man who once dispatched enemies with a single glance now wields a frying pan and a cash register with equal ferocity. Every encounter becomes a high‑octane blend of slapstick comedy and razor‑sharp combat, as Sakamoto protects his family with the same lethal precision he once reserved for contracts. The series balances over‑the‑top action with heartfelt moments, proving that even a retired hitman can still be the ultimate guardian when his loved ones are on the line.

A retired hitman runs a convenience store while fending off colorful assassins in over-the-top, comedic action scenes. The violence is energetic but restrained by a no-kill rule, making it a lighthearted, family-centric action comedy suitable for young teens.
