| - Daisuke is the only son of the Kagegakure ANBU Commander and the Murakami Clan head, Gokufu Murakami, and his wife Hanabi. As a child, Daisuke grew up in the shadow of his older sister, Miyuki Murakami, a child prodigy viewed as the strongest person in the Murakami Clan. On one fateful night, the entire Murakami Clan was slaughtered during the Kagegakure-Haganegakure War, save for Daisuke. Daisuke arrived on the battlefield just in time to see his parents and sister being killed by a Hagane battalion. The leader, Hitsuchi, spared him, saying,"Foolish little child. Run, run, cling to your pathetic life", believing that Daisuke was not worth killing. This incident traumatised Daisuke, drastically altering his personality. When Daisuke first met Kenji Kayuga in the Academy, they were matched to spar against each other. Kenji was excited at the opportunity to fight with a worthy rival like Daisuke, however the match ended in a draw. By looking at Daisuke's eyes, Kenji realised that they were so filled with hatred that it seemed that he wasn't even looking at Kenji. When Itsumo told them to make the reconciliation seal, they both refused. Up until his graduation from the Academy, Daisuke remained a loner.
