First Look Teaser for Live-Action 'Sakamoto Days' Fat Assassin Movie

Sakamoto is back again! Toho has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a new live-action movie based on the hit manga and hit anime series called Sakamoto Days, about a "plus-sized assassin" named Sakamoto Taro. The anime series actually just debuted on Netflix earlier in 2025 - it's streaming now there if anyone wants to watch it. This is pretty much a shot-for-shot remake. He was once the most powerful killer but he retired after falling in love with Aoi. He now runs a small neighborhood shop called "Sakamoto Store." He fights using whatever weapons are at hand, rather than relying on any specific ones. He loves his wife and daughter above all else... This is what happens when his past catches up with him. The live-action version stars Ren Meguro as Taro Sakamoto, Aya Ueto as Aoi Sakamoto, with Fumiya Takahashi and Miyu Yoshimoto. This teaser only has barely 30 seconds of footage in it – but it's still a fun first look. Interesting cinematic decision to keep his glasses opaque & silver even in this live-action version.
