You might want to consider flying by purchasing the Japan Airpass instead of train. The Osaka - Hokkaido segemnt is way too long on the train.

If you want to travel by train, the durations are as follow.

Tokyo to Osaka: 2 hours 40 minutes to 3 hours by Shinkansen
Osaka to Spporo: 15 hours with several transfers in-between (Shinkansen and other trains). Or there is an overnight sleeper train between Osaka and Sapporo, yet it's not daily and there is a sleeper surcharge of approx. 10k yen even if you have the Japan Railpass.
