Overview
Aoi Sakamoto is a character in the manga series Sakamoto Days. She is the wife of the protagonist, Taro Sakamoto, and the mother of their daughter, Hana Sakamoto. After meeting Taro while working as a convenience store clerk—where he fell in love with her at first sight—she eventually married him.

Appearance
She is a beautiful woman with long black hair styled into a ponytail, featuring an asymmetrical look with side bangs hanging down only on the right side—a visual counterpart to her husband's hairstyle. During her dating years, she wore her hair short. Her physical features include a mole under her mouth, visible collarbones, and she wears a hairclip or hair ornament.
Personality
Aoi possesses an easygoing and warm-hearted disposition with a constant gentle smile. Having married a former hitman, she has a remarkably solid composure, remaining unshaken during crises like bus hijackings due to her absolute faith in her husband. However, her anger exerts a terrifying presence capable of intimidating Taro, Shin Asakura, and even seasoned assassins like Boiled. She also demonstrates intense resolve, once jumping off a high building to force her husband to change his ways. Beyond her husband and daughter, she considers Shin Asakura and Lu Xiaotang to be part of her immediate family.
Abilities
Her personal hobby is performing magic tricks. In terms of daily practical skills, she handles the finances, bookkeeping, and sales records for the Sakamoto Store.
Background
Aoi met Taro Sakamoto while working at a convenience store, leading to their courtship. Disillusioned by his violence after he bought her a Christmas gift straight after an assassination job, she demanded he stop taking lives. To prove her earnestness, she threw herself off a structure, landing safely in the snow while Taro cushioned her fall. This forced him to retire from the underworld and dedicate himself to saving people instead. They married, had their daughter Hana, and established the Sakamoto Store, bound by her strict family rule that resuming hitman work results in an immediate divorce.
Relationships
She is married to Taro Sakamoto, who loves her deeply while being completely terrified of her wrath. Together, they have a daughter named Hana Sakamoto. She also treats Shin Asakura and Lu Xiaotang as cherished members of the household. While she usually addresses her husband informally, she calls him 'Taro-san' during serious moments.
Trivia
Her hairstyle was specifically designed as a mirrored counterpart to Taro Sakamoto's hair design. She serves as the primary heroine figure within the series' media adaptations.
