Synopsis of Sakamoto Days
Tarou Sakamoto was considered the best
hitman of all time. Feared by many, he was at the top of the underground world
until he met and fell in love with a woman. As a result, Sakamoto abandoned his
life of crime and now works as a store clerk. Leaving his shady past behind
turns out to be more difficult than Sakamoto originally imagined. Many of his
former rivals and associates do not believe he has really left the business and
show up hoping to put an end to him. With the ban on killing, Sakamoto must
find creative ways to subdue his enemies and prevent them from harming his
family, his store, and the small town in which he resides.
