Origin and background of the character
Taro Sakamoto is the central, unconventional and deeply endearing protagonist of the action-comedy manga Sakamoto Days, drawn and written by Yuto Suzuki. Once considered the greatest elite assassin of all time, feared and respected by the entire global underworld, he chose to give it all up the day he fell head over heels in love. Now married, a family man and the portly manager of a small local convenience store, Sakamoto has sworn never to kill anyone again, on pain of being divorced by his wife. However, his past as a legendary killer constantly catches up with him: to protect his family, his staff and the peace of his business, he must face formidable bounty hunters by using the most ordinary objects from his daily life as deadly improvised weapons.
This 17 cm figure from the "Vibration Stars" collection perfectly captures the visual paradox and all the raw power of the hero. It depicts him in a dynamic combat pose in full swing, beautifully contrasting his jovial, rotund figure with lightning-fast agility and speed of execution. The sculpture faithfully recreates his traditional convenience store apron, his small round glasses and his iconic, unflappable expression. It is an absolute must-have for any fan wishing to showcase the quiet power of the legendary ex-killer as he faces off against his opponents in the series.
