SAKAMOTO DAYS (2026 movie)

You read the manga, and you saw last year's TV anime. Now, see SAKAMOTO DAYS like never before with the arrival of the live-action movie adaptation. Everyone's favorite plus-size ex-hitman comes alive, and he's ready to hunt you down...non-lethally as he swears it.

Starring Snow Man singer Ren Meguro as the titular Taro Sakamoto, Fumiya Takahashi (Kamen Rider Zero-One) as Shin Asakura, Mayu Yokota as Lu Shaotang, and Junki Tozuka as Heisuke Mashimo, among others, the live-action SAKAMOTO DAYS brings the story of our favorite plus-size ex-hitman to life.

Those who are familiar with the manga and last year's TV anime know the drill, right? It's about Taro Sakamoto, feared and respected as the world's deadliest hitman, who gave up his fearsome status after marrying a woman named Mayu and giving birth to their child, Hana. When the world's deadliest organizations put a bounty on Sakamoto's head, it's up to Sakamoto to protect his family at all costs, with a little help from his friends, such as Shin and Shaotang.

This movie feels like it's covering almost the first season of the anime series. Almost everything we love about SAKAMOTO DAYS is there in this live-action movie offering, not to mention his transformation sequence where Sakamoto went from slim to plus-size and back Perhaps the opposite? Anyway, with the blend of action, thrills, comedy, suspense, and family values, this live-action movie is almost as good as last year's anime. Nearly a good way to catch up before the real deal returns for another round, right?

Whether you enjoyed the manga or the anime series, this live-action SAKAMOTO DAYS movie gives you more dopamine for your addiction to the entire series, like it or not. Another reason why we love this now-iconic series.
