Kyouji Murakami (村上 峡児, Murakami Kyōji), alternatively spelt Kyoji Murakami, was the chief of Smart Brain following Eiichi Toda's death. He was also known as the Rose Orphnoch (ローズオルフェノク, Rōzu Orufenoku).
History[]
He has been known to pull "dirty tricks" in order to go up the social ladder in the company such as making the president's appointee go missing and destroying rival companies as a part of swallowing up the competition. Murakami assigns the Lucky Clover to do his dirty work until Hanagata took back the company and gave up control to Kiba. Despite losing his place in Smart Brain, Murakami had a trump card in the Orphnoch King, whom he had waited for to revive after learning of his human host. To that end, Murakami attempted to abduct Teruo, fighting the Riders on his own and escape their attacks. In his weakened state, Murakami offered his life to the Arch Orphnoch to awaken the Orphnoch King so he can correct the Orphnochs' genetic instability.

- Full Metal Lung: The vest armor of the Rider provides the most protection, being able to withstand Anti-tank weaponry.
- Global Feeler: The antenna on the Rider’s head can be used to communicate with the Smart Brain Satellite and the Smart Brain computer network.
- Photon Blood: A glowing substance that provides all of the Rider’s powers and generates all of the physical features of the armor. The Photon Blood is generated from the Delta Driver.
- Photon Streams: The path that the Photon Blood travels through the Rider’s armor. In Delta, this path is blue when transforming, white after transformed.
- Photon Terminals: Where the Photon Streams connect with the gauntlets and greaves.
- Sol Foam/Metal: Soft parts of the armor are made of Sol Foam, and the hard parts are made of Sol Metal. This substance is generated by the Delta Driver to form complex machinery that is powered by Photon Blood. If the Foam or Metal are damaged, the armor switches off and resets itself.
- Ultimate Finder: The large eyepieces of the Rider give them incredible vision. They can see in darkness with no problems and have an unlimited amount of X-ray vision.
