Japanese action comedy Baby Assassins will debut on July 22 exclusively on the martial arts streaming service Hi-Yah! before hitting digital, Blu-ray and DVD on August 16 from Well Go USA Entertainment.

Director Hugo Sakamoto (A janitor, Hangman’s knot) and action director Kensuke Sonomura (John Woo’s Manhunt, man from nowhere, Hydra, Bushido Man) join their talents for the martial arts film. Akari Takaishi (distant thunder, A janitor) as “Chisato” and Saori Izawa (A janitor) while “Mahiro” plays highly skilled teenage assassins. Once they graduate, they are told by upper management that they will have to work “normal” jobs as cover and, even worse, they will be forced to share an apartment. However, after an unfortunate encounter with a Yakuza member, the two must band together to survive an epic fight for their lives. The cast also includes Masanori Mimoto (Enter the Fat Dragon, Hydra, First love, Yakuza Apocalypse, God of the war).
