Description
Masaki Murakami, a 29-year-old freelance reporter, investigated monster rumors in New Guinea when he and his team stumbled upon a Chronos Corporation Zoanoid testing site. His colleagues died, but Masaki was captured alive due to genetic compatibility with Chronos' experiments. Transported to Chronos' Arizona headquarters, he became a test subject in the Zoalord development program, specifically a prototype for Richard Guyot. These experiments drastically reduced his lifespan, and using his battleform shortened it further.
A sympathetic Chronos scientist, Dr. Shinichiro Yamamura, orchestrated Masaki's escape by releasing him and other prototype Zoalords. Their attempt to assassinate Guyot failed, resulting in the deaths of Yamamura and the other prototypes. Masaki, the least injured, escaped with their aid and returned to Japan. He initially sought a Guyver Unit to fight Chronos, but discovered all three units were bonded to hosts—Sho Fukamachi (Guyver I), Oswald Lisker (Guyver II), and Agito Makishima (Guyver III). In the 2005 anime, he shifted focus to aiding Guyver I after encountering Sho during a battle with the Lost Number Aptom, providing strategic support and intelligence on Chronos operations, including the Mt. Minakami base.
As a prototype Zoalord, Masaki possessed limited abilities: enhanced strength, telepathic control over Zoanoids (vulnerable to true Zoalords' interference), and gravity-based powers. His weapon was a modified handgun too heavy for ordinary humans. In battleform, he generated gravity blades and micro-black hole projectiles, though prolonged use accelerated his energy depletion. His Zoacrystal vibrated at the same frequency as Guyot's.
During the Mt. Minakami battle, Richard Guyot destroyed Masaki's dummy Zoacrystal, leaving him near death. The supreme Zoalord Archanfel recovered him, implanted Guyot's actual Zoacrystal, and reprocessed him into a full Zoalord named Imakarum Mirabilis. This process erased his previous loyalties, making him unconditionally devoted to Archanfel and Chronos. As Imakarum, he gained new abilities like flight through gravity manipulation. He confronted Sho and Agito at Chronos' Cloud Gate facility. Despite Sho's emotional appeals referencing their past alliance, Imakarum displayed no sentiment and attacked relentlessly. He nearly killed Sho until Aptom intervened. Later, Agito Makishima in the Gigantic Dark Armor cracked Imakarum's Zoacrystal. Archanfel rescued him before his destruction.
