Taro Sakamoto

Taro Sakamoto is the retired hitman at the centre of Sakamoto Days, Yuto Suzuki's manga running in Weekly Shonen Jump since November 2020. He runs a neighbourhood store with his wife Aoi and daughter Hana, and stays out of the trade until former colleagues come looking for him.

What makes Taro Sakamoto stand out

• Retired, not defanged He left the Order and the JAA behind and works to a no-kill policy, but the skill set is intact: threat assessment, improvisation, marksmanship and close combat all still work, just carried in a heavier body.
• The silhouette is the joke and the warning He stands 188 cm and weighs 140 kg now, against 80 kg in his prime. The gap between the soft outline and what he can still do is the series' running visual gag, and the figures play on it.
• Two modes on the shelf The releases split along that line: Store Manager versions in apron and cardigan, Serious versions in a fighting stance with the coat moving.
