Character: Keisatsu Shochou

A local police chief, Chief Muraki is a good friend of Kenshin's and often informs him of local disturbances. During the Jinchuu arc, Uramura's residence is attacked along with the Maekawa dojo and the Akabeko as part of Yukishiro Enishi's plan to strike at the places in Tokyo most important to Kenshin; fortunately Uramura and his family are saved by Kenshin. As a favour to Kenshin, he deliberately points the police in the wrong direction when they attempt to arrest Sanosuke toward the end of the manga. He was not given a name until the Jinchuu arc in the manga.
