As Sakamoto’s daughter, Hana’s role inSakamoto Daysraises a lot of speculation from curious fans who believe she may have inherited her father’s strength, aside from the reputable Sakamoto name.

Hana Sakamoto’s Personality and Strength
Sakamoto’s Daughter Is Stronger Than Other Children
Hana Sakamoto is a carefree and outgoing child who loves to help her hardworking parents run their two-story convenience store on the outskirts of Tokyo. She has a very close bond with her father, often teasing him about his adorable yet hilarious reactions to Aoi’s cooking. She also maintains a goodrelationship with Shin, Lu Shaotang, and even Heisuke Mashimo, who all become significant parts of their family as the plot unfolds. Like any child, Hana enjoys spending time with her friends, blissfully unaware of the dangers that lurk around her, thanks to her father’s protection.
“My daughter wants it. Nothing matters, more than that.” —Taro Sakamoto
While Hana is still young and naive, there are subtle hints inSakamoto Daysthat show how she has superior strength to kids her age. It’s also impressive how she interacts with deadly assassins without fear for someone her age. For instance, inSakamoto Dayschapter 131, “Deal," Hana is shown lifting a heavy Kashima on her back despite the latter’s concerns about possible injuries. This didn’t faze Hana at all, who claimed that she was strong enough to take him to the toy store for some fixing, and truly enough, Hana managed to bring Kashima in without any problems. These unusual physical feats could hint that Hana may have inherited some ofTaro Sakamoto’s outrageous abilities, even if she has yet to show her full prowess in the series.
The Future Potential of Sakamoto’s Daughter
A Future Fighter in the Series?
As Sakamoto’s daughter, Hana has a lot of room for growth inSakamoto Days, much like Moroha, who was revealed to beInuyasha and Kagome’s only daughterin theYashahime: Princess-Half Demonanime, and Boruto, who anime fans know is Naruto and Hinata’s son and has an anime and manga series of his own. Who knows, Hana might get her series sometime in the future, which could add more nuances to her character and expand the story ofSakamoto Dayseven further.
“Daddy always helps people who are in trouble. That’s why Hana wants to be like that too!” —Hana Sakamoto
For someone like Hana, who’s always surrounded by extraordinary individuals with an aptitude for fighting, she could eventually pick up their skills and adapt their instinctson top of possessing Sakamoto’s genes. It would not be surprising if one of these days, Hana exhibited more superhuman abilities, which could make her a key figure in the upcoming chapters of the manga series.
Sakamoto Dayshas yet to explore more of Hana Sakamoto’s role, which makes her an interesting topic of discussion among fans.
Whether she has inheritedTaro Sakamoto’s full strength and assassin instincts, only time will tell. But given the subtle hints so far, there’s a huge chance that Sakamoto’s daughter could develop into a formidable force, someone capable of following in her father’s footsteps. Regardless, Hana Sakamoto has a significant role inSakamoto Days, as she is and will always be one of the biggest motivations for Taro Sakamoto to keep pushing further despite the major challenges that come his way.
