Synopsis of Sakamoto Days
Tarou Sakamoto was considered the greatest 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 gave up his life of
crime and now works as a shop assistant. Putting his shady past behind him
proves more difficult than Sakamoto initially imagined. Many of his former
rivals and associates don't believe he's really left the business and show up
hoping to take him down. With the ban on killing, Sakamoto must find creative
ways to subdue his enemies and prevent them from harming his family, his shop,
and the small town he resides in.
