Netflix’s hit anime Sakamoto Days is set for a two-part live-action film adaptation, premiering during Japan’s Golden Week 2026 (April 29th to May 6th). The project was announced in Weekly Shonen Jump, which featured the series on its cover, and accompanied by a first-look image of the titular character shared by Toho. Based on Yuto Suzuki’s manga, the story follows Taro Sakamoto, a retired assassin turned family man and shopkeeper, whose quiet life is upended when he’s forced back into the underworld. The anime’s first season, which concluded on September 22nd on Netflix, quickly became a global fan favorite thanks to its stylish animation, comedic tone, and dynamic action. With 23 manga volumes published in Japan and 18 in English, anticipation for the adaptation is already high.
