Tokio Murakami

Tokio Murakami (村上時雄,) is the lead actor of the play The Living World Is a Dream, the Nocturnal Dream is Reality performed at Theatrum Mundi.

Personality
Murakami takes pride in his performance and acting. He easily shows irritation when someone interrupts him while reading his lines for a play. He doesn't hesitate to do anything in order to achieve an ultimate performance or master the art of performance - even performing his own death at the stage.

However, Murakami also accepts defeat and his mistakes, realizing that he got people innocent involved in order to perform the ultimate performance and that he's only performing for himself.

Untold Origins Arc
Together with Kurahashi, they have planned the act of Murakami being murdered at the stage, but Kurahashi had his own goals in mind - to meet the man in the suit who rarely shows himself.

During the day of the play, Murakami is approached by Fukuzawa and asked the time when he will be alone at the stage, after a death threat has been delivered at the theater few days ago.

Quotes

 * "But there is one thing that cannot be avoided while acting on the stage of lide, and that is death! Death is not the opposite of life; it is life's symbol and banner. Howeverm it also provides a great paradox! Nobody alive has every experience it! That's why to me, the greatest job of all would be performing the death of a person. Not death as a device or a mere convention, but real death that I could convey to the audience. That was the pinnacle of theatrical performance to me. And this is the outcome of my toil."
 * (While yelling at the crowd) "Could you see it? Death is always hanging over our heads! Without a voice, it quietly waits for us! Theater and movies desperately try to express the idea with their structure, editing, music, and thoughtful dialogue. However, they can never express death itself! I am the first to ever perform death! And that is something I wanted evveryone who came here today to behold!"
 * "I have no regrets. This is the way I live. Performers do not need a stage. I will live on from fruitful outcome of today, performing in others' hearts until eternal rest is granted unto me."
 * (to Yukichi Fukuzawa) "I've done a lot of things in my life, but this is the first time I've ever been handcuffed. Everythings's an experience. This'll only enrich my acting."
