If you’ve been looking for a new anime series to indulge in, Netflix might just have the solution for you. The streaming giant will be debuting its anime adaptation of the manga Sakamoto Days very soon, and it’s set to drop its first part as soon as Saturday, January 11.
The show is a take on the famed manga created and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki, and as for what it tells and explores, the official synopsis adds the following: “Once the greatest hitman of all, Taro Sakamoto retired in the name of love. But when his past catches up, he must fight to protect his beloved family.”
While Netflix previously revealed the Japanese voice cast for the show, the streamer has now affirmed the English voice cast too, which features Cobra Kai, Blood of Zeus, Castlevania, and Avatar: The Last Airbender veterans, all as part of a new trailer that further gives fans an idea of what they will be in store for when the show begins streaming. The cast consists of the following:
- Matthew Mercer as Taro Sakamoto
- Dallas Liu as Shin Asakura
- Rosalie Chiang as Lu Shaotang
- Rosie Okumura as Aoi Sakamoto
- Xolo Maridueña as Heisuke Mashimo
- Aleks Le as Boiled
