The Netflix Anime YouTube channel just recently uploaded a song video that shows off the opening for an anime series that follows a legendary retired hitman and the adventures of his seemingly normal everyday life.. The anime series is called 'Sakamoto Days' and the opening for it, called 'Run Sakamoto Run' by Vaundy can be watched below.

For those of you that are curious as to what this anime is all about, here are some of the things you should know about 'Sakamoto Days'.

Plot Of The Upcoming Anime 'Sakamoto Days'

'Sakamoto Days' will follow the story of an underworld hitman who was the best in the business, Taro Sakamoto. One day, however, something unexpected happened that changed the course of his life. He fell in love.

He got married and had a child and, in the present day, runs a neighbourhood store while being so out of shape that he's unrecognizable from his past self. His past is not something he can escape so easily though, as he is given an ultimatum. He must return to the world of assassins, or he must accept his death.

Those that have watched the 'John Wick' franchise will find the plot of this manga very similar, and will probably enjoy the combat just as much as the drama and characters.

Cast And Crew Behind 'Sakamoto Days'

The main character, who the series is named after, will be voiced by Tomokazu Sugita who has also voiced Gintoki Sakata from 'Gintama'. Other notable cast members include Nobunaga Shimazaki voicing Shin Asakura, Ayane Sakura voicing Lu Shaotang, Nao Toyama voicing Aoi Sakamoto, Hina Kino voicing Hana Sakamoto, Ryota Suzuki voicing Heisuke Mashimo, and Miyari Nemoto voicing Piisuke.

The original manga was written by Yuto Suzuki, and will be directed by Masaki Watanabe, with TMS Anime Studio working as the production house.
