*''Died: [[1898]]''
Maruoka Kanji was the seventh governor of [[Okinawa prefecture]], serving in that position from [[1888]] to [[1892]], when he was succeeded by [[Narahara Shigeru]].
Prior to coming to Okinawa, he served as head of the [[Bureau of Shrines]] (''jinja kyoku'') within the [[Home Ministry]]. In Okinawa, he was a staunch advocate for ''[[kominka|kôminka]]'' - the transformation of the people into Imperial subjects - and pushed for the complementarity of [[Shinto shrines]] in order to contribute to this process.
