He was promoted to the rank of 1-dan in 1986 and achieved professional status and the rank of 4-dan in April 1990.[3]

On December 8, 2023, Maruyama became the tenth professional shogi player overall and the first since July 2017 to reach 1000 wins in official games when he defeated Kōichi Fukaura in a Eiō tournament preliminary round game. Maruyama qualified for the JSA's "Special Shogi Honor Award" for reaching this milestone. His career record at the time of the victory was 1000 wins and 600 losses for a winning percentage of 0.625.[7][8] That same month, Maruyama defeated Sōta Fujii to win the 31st Ginga-sen . The victory gave Maruyama his first Ginga-sen championship, and it also was the first defeat for Fujii in a tournament final since obtaining 8-crown status in September 2023.
