The notion of a transparent fusion category is defined. For the Haagerup-Izumi fusion rings with G=Z_(2n+1) (the Z_3 case is the Haagerup H_3 fusion ring), the transparent property reduces the number of independent F-symbols from order O(n6) to O(n^2), rendering the pentagon identity practically solvable. Transparent fusion categories are constructed up to Z_(15), and the explicit F-symbols are compactly presented. The potential construction of categories for new families of fusion rings is discussed
