Masaki Murakami
Masaki Murakami is officially a freelance reporter, but is
also a genetically engineered prototype for Gyro's battle form. Gyro is
one of the 12 (well, really 13) Zoalords of Chronos.
Murakami was initially a guinea pig for Gyro's zoa-form until
his old mentor, a fellow hostage of Chronos, convinced him (along with three
other test subjects) to use his vestigial power to rebel. The rebellion
was crushed, but Murakami escaped alive and has since watched Chronos under
the guise of "Freelance Reporter" Murakami.
Because he is a prototype, Murakami does not have all of
the power of Gyro and using his battle form exhausts him.
A Zoalord has the ability to unconditionally control any
zoanoid unless another, stronger zoalord orders it to do otherwise.
As a Zoalord, Murakami has the power to shoot a force bolt
from his hand or create a force barrier around his body.
Murakami knows the score and has been instrumental in the
survival of Sho, Mizuki, and Tetsuro.
