Murakami is the main antagonist of the Max Steel Reboot episode "Live by the Sword". He is a skilled swordsman. In the past, he desired to rule the world and wanted a strong sword to help accomplish that goal. He got a sword made by a forger but the forger put a curse on it which sealed Murakami in the sword.

Although he does not talk in his normal form, when possessing Kirby Kowalski, he is voiced by Richard Ian Cox.
