- Aleks Le as Nagumo

- SungWon Cho as Boiled
- Du-Shaunt “Fik-Shun” Stegall as Son Hee
- Toru Uchikado as Bacho
“The most exciting thing about being involved with Sakamoto Days is getting to work with Xolo and Aleks, but also I was a huge fan of the manga before coming onto the project, so being a part of it as Shin — the one and only — I’m super excited,” said Dallas Liu, “Voice acting is something I’ve never been able to do before, and this getting to be my first project is super surreal for me … I’m super excited for people to watch.”
Sakamoto Days premieres on Netflix on Saturday, January 11 with weekly episodes. Part 2 will be released in July.
