‘Sakamoto Days’ Releases Episode 4 Preview, Reveals Two New Cast Members

The anime adaptation of Yuuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days is picking up steam, with fresh details dropping for its upcoming fourth episode. Two more cast members were revealed recently: Yasuhiro Mamiya will play Boiled, while Yumi Uchiyama will voice Obiguro. Fans also got a sneak peek through a preview video (see below), hyping the episode even more.
The show kicked off its run on January 11 on TV Tokyo and other networks, hitting Netflix the same day. Netflix confirmed ‘Part 1’ will have 11 weekly episodes, with ‘Part 2’ slated for release this July.
The anime has a strong team behind it. Masaki Watanabe, known for KADO – The Right Answer and Bartender, is directing at TMS Entertainment. Taku Kishimoto, who worked on Haikyu!! and BLUELOCK, is in charge of the scripts. Yō Moriyama, recognized for his work on Lupin the IIIrd: Goemon’s Blood Spray, is designing the characters.
For the music, the opening theme ‘Hashire Sakamoto’ is performed by Vaundy, while Conton Candy wraps things up with the ending theme, ‘Futsū.’
The story comes from Yuuto Suzuki’s manga, which debuted in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in November 2020. Before that, he had released a one-shot in Jump Giga in December 2019. The manga is available in English digitally through Viz Media and MANGA Plus, with print editions also available.
The plot centers on Taro Sakamoto, a once-legendary hitman who retired after falling in love and starting a family. Now, he’s an unassuming store owner with a dad bod, but the danger isn’t far behind. With a mix of action and comedy, it’s a fresh spin on the hitman genre.
