Now Viewing: sakamoto_taroTag type: Character 坂本 太郎 A white_haired glasses wearing man who ties his hair into a bun. He is the protagonist of Sakamoto_Days. He was a legendary hitman who was a member of the elite assassin group the Order. He has superhuman physical strength and instincts, and is skilled at both gunplay and close quarters hand to hand combat. One of his most formidable talents is his ability to make use of his environment and improvise weapons. When he was the top assassin in the world, he had a cold, aloof demeanor. However, that changed once he fell in love with Sakamoto Aoi. The two of them married and settled down with Taro retiring from being a hitman in order to run a shop named after himself. Sakamoto's change in career comes with a change in mindset, Taro no longer has the desire to kill and is more interested in using his skills to protect his loved ones and his community. He also lets himself go, gaining a considerable amount of weight. In his now default, goofier looking form, he has a large belly and a round oval-shaped face complete with a white mustache. His eyes are hidden behind his glasses. However, if a fight drags on long enough and sufficiently pushes him, he will lose the weight he gained and revert back to his prime youthful hitman self with an angular face, intense eyes and a single hair bang near his eye. The character was conceived by mangaka Suzuki Yuuto's fascination with the idea of a powerful fat hero. This fascination was partially inspired by the 1978 kung fu comedy Enter the Fat Dragon, which starred Sammo Hung, an action star famous for his portly build. He is voiced by Fukasawa_Jun (manga PVs) and Sugita_Tomokazu (anime). Sugita was originally tapped to play Kashima, but he asked to play Sakamoto instead due to being interested in the character's relationship to his family and friends. In live action, he's played by actor/singer Meguro Ren. Meguro's natural physique is closer to Sakamoto's thin form, so he had to go through a four hour makeup process before filming his scenes as fat Sakamoto.
