Synopsis
of Sakamoto Days
The name
Tarou Sakamoto struck fear into any villain. No other professional hitman
matched his prowess, and his peers revered him. However, Sakamoto fell in love.
Within five years, he married, became a father, gained weight, and traded his
guns for an apron to become the owner of a humble shop.
Although
Sakamoto is now firmly retired, he struggles to let go of his former life of
crime. His former partner, Shin Asakura, reappears and decides to stay with
Sakamoto's family under his strict no-kill rule. To make matters worse, a large
bounty has been placed on Sakamoto's head. Numerous assassins are after him,
but they're in for a surprise. Sakamoto hasn't lost his mind, and no matter
what schemes his enemies use, he will fight each and every one of them to
protect his beloved family.
