This service offers promotional materials and tools related to popular professional Mahjong players, enabling businesses to utilize their images and likenesses within a cost-effective framework.

About Kanako Maruyama

Born on August 17, 1993, in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Maruyama rapidly ascended the ranks of professional Mahjong since her debut in 2018. Just a year later, she made headlines as she was drafted by the Akasaka Dreamins in the professional Mahjong league, M-League. Her approachable demeanor combined with a keen strategic mind has made her a standout personality on the Mahjong scene.

Over four seasons in the M-League, she has consistently demonstrated the ability to lead her team to victory, emerging as a crucial point contributor. During the 2022-23 season, her aggressive play style led to personal achievements and remarkable stability in her performance.

Known affectionately as "Maruko," Kanako captivates her fans with her down-to-earth personality during interviews and live streams, appealing to a diverse audience regardless of age or gender. Her play style is particularly notable for its focus on specific hand combinations, especially the "Honitsu" (one-suit) strategy, which she openly endorses as her favorite.

Her fashionable eye and modern style have also become a talking point, with fans eagerly anticipating her appearances on social media and events. Recently, she has ventured into Mahjong commentary and hosting, working to bridge the gap between the competitive nature of the game and its entertainment value. This makes her a noteworthy figure, representing the future of the Mahjong world.
