Message from the Cast
Hisako Kanemoto, voice of Nao Toramaru
I was so happy to be cast as the voice of Nao Toramaru for a series that I love so much.
She has a deep admiration for her "oshi" (favorite character/person), and her emotions explode in a rapid-fire, back-and-forth tempo, fueled by that intense passion. I had to be fully focused during my performance to keep up with her!
I hope everyone can enjoy Nao's love for Sakamoto in the anime!

Tomoaki Maeno, voice of Joichiro Kaji
Hi, I'm Tomoaki Maeno, and I'll be voicing Joichiro Kaji.
I thought he was a cool character, but it turns out he's extremely shy, which is something I really connect with. As voice actors, we are unconsciously trained to speak clearly and confidently, but for Kaji, I'm focusing on doing the complete opposite. I'm putting a lot of effort into the recording sessions to make sure I properly convey his unique personality.
I hope you look forward to seeing him in action in the anime!

Hello, my name is Tatsumaru Tachibana, and I'll be playing the role of Shinaya.
It's a great honor to be a part of “SAKAMOTO DAYS”! I genuinely looked forward to every recording session. If I were to talk about my character, it would give away spoilers, so all I can say is, "I finished before I even realized it, in many ways!"
I put my all into this performance, and I hope you'll continue to support “SAKAMOTO DAYS”!

About “SAKAMOTO DAYS”
Synopsis
There once was a notorious assassin known as Taro Sakamoto---
He was feared by all villains and admired by his fellow assassins. However, one day, Sakamoto's life took an unexpected turn.
Sakamoto fell in love at first sight with Aoi, who worked at a local convenience store.
He promptly retired from his life as an assassin, got married, and had a daughter. Sakamoto then started running a private store in a peaceful town. However, his retirement came at a cost - he had gained a significant amount of weight, no longer resembling the legendary hitman he once was!
In order to protect the peaceful life of his beloved family, the former legendary hitman confronts a series of assassins who are closing in on him one after another.
A solid action story in which the ordinary and the extraordinary intersect begins!!
