Ren Murakami (村上 蓮) was a low ranking member of the CCC, in which he went under the code name 15 (Fifteen (ジューゴ)). Before he joined, he made money from doing part-time work. He played one of the main roles in Plan B, or the Ikebukuro incident. After fulfilling his roles, Kirio Kikuhara (Zero Two) killed him in order to cover up the truth.

Appearance
Murakami was a young man with an average build and below average height for his age, standing at. He had nape length, wavy and messy black hair which he often had tied in a ponytail, in which he rarely had it down. His bangs cover his forehead, and his most prominent feature is his freckles, which sits around his nose and nose bridge. He was often seen in hoodies.

Personality
Murakami generally had a very light-hearted and friendly, sometimes even slightly childish personality towards his fellow agents. He was cheerful, straightforward and teasing and wanted to unite the CCC before they started their missions.

He knew that Kenichi Yoshii (Zero Nine) has a crush and Nanako Tenjo (Zero Seven) and would often create opportunities for them to talk. His age was close to theirs, so Murakami became close friends with both of them.

However, he also seemed to dislike devils a lot. He had a deep respect for Kirio Kikuhara and the CCC for trying to accomplish the devils' extermination, and was very loyal to the organization and the latter. He believed the end justifies the means and the end is a society free from devils. He did anything that was asked of him and would do anything for the sake of society, even hurting and possibly killing fellow CCC agents, such as Zero Seven.
