Murakami, Masaki

Masaki was a freelance journalist captured by Cronos and used as an experimental subject in the Zoalord development program. He serves as a prototype body for Richard Guyot's Zoalord form. Dr. Yamamura, a scientist involved in the project, discovered Guyot's plans for the Guyver units and recruited four of the prototypes—including his former pupil, Murakami—in an attempt to destroy the Commander while he was being processed into his new battle form. The other eleven members of the twelve-member Cronos Council, all Zoalords, intervened; Masaki is the only surviving rebel. He joins Shou to fight Cronos, with his own revenge in mind. He does not fully trust Agito at first due to Guyver III's earlier connections with Cronos.
