Political career
He ran for office as an independent during the Shimane gubernatorial election in 2019, winning 43.58% of the vote.[1]
In February 2020, he criticized South Korea over territorial disputes in the Liancourt Rocks, which Japan claims is as a part of Shimane Prefecture. Maruyama said the ROK government is “strengthening movements to make the occupation of Takeshima (Liancourt Rocks) an established fact”.[2] He also called on the central Japanese government to give an effective response regarding the Liancourt Rocks dispute.[2]
