The official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Yuto Suzuki's Sakamoto Days manga series revealed the cast visuals of X's Organization members today. The film is set to release in Japan on April 29, 2026 . Akihisa Shiono (Souji Rippukan / Kyoryu Green in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger ) plays Kashima , a cyborg wearing a reindeer mask, with weapons embedded throughout his body. Kashima played by Akihisa Shiono Comment from Akihisa Shiono: Of course, I was familiar with the original work. When I asked my agency which role I'd been offered, they said, "It's the one wearing the deer headgear…" I couldn't contain my excitement at this unexpected headgear role. For details, I hope you'll watch the film itself, but I believe I fully embodied my own interpretation of Kashima's character. Please see it in theaters. By the way, Kashima's headgear is a "reindeer," not a "deer." Keisuke Watanabe (Woz / Kamen Rider Woz in Kamen Rider Zi-O ) plays Natsuki Seba , a killer who wields a transparent suit as a weapon while radiating a sense of emptiness. Natsuki Seba played by Daisuke Watanabe Comment from Keisuke Watanabe: This time, I have the honor of portraying Natsuki Seba. In this action-packed film, I focused on conveying his relaxed, effortless demeanor — always trying to conserve energy — without any unnecessary noise. When I heard Director Fukuda was working on the live-action adaptation of Sakamoto Days, packed with abundant comedic elements, I felt nothing but excitement. And then, Meguro-kun playing Sakamoto? Wow. As a viewer myself, I'm already looking forward to its release. Please see it in theaters. And while it remains undisclosed who will portray the role, the visual for X (Slur) — the unknown, most formidable enemy — was also revealed. X visual Yuichi Fukuda, best known for his work on the Gintama live-action series, is attached to direct on a screenplay also by himself. Ren Meguro (Japanese male idol group Snow Man member) is cast as the protagonist, Taro Sakamoto. The other main cast members include Fumiya Takahashi (Kamen Rider Zero-One/Aruto Hiden in Kamen Rider Zero-One ) as Shin Asakura, Aya Ueto (Azumi in Ryuhei Kitamura’s Azumi ) as Aoi Sakamoto, Miyu Yoshimoto as Hana Sakamoto, Mayuu Yokota as Lu Shaotang, and Junki Tozuka as Heisuke Mashimo. The original Sakamoto Days manga series is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since November 2020, with 25 collected volumes in Japan to date. The anime adaptation directed by Masaki Watanabe ( Bartender ) at TMS Entertainment premiered in January 2025, with Netflix streaming the series. A second season of the TV anime was announced in December 2025 . VIZ Media describes the series as such: Time has passed peacefully for Sakamoto since he left the underworld. He’s running a neighborhood store with his lovely wife and child and has gotten a bit…out of shape. But one day a figure from his past pays him a visit with an offer he can’t refuse: return to the assassin world or die!
