The Maruzen was established in Yokohama, Japan, in 1869 with the initial name of Maruya and was involved in importing books and dictionaries from Europe. The following year, founder Hayashi Yuteki opened a store in the city of Tokyo and in 1878 changed the firm's name to the better known "Maruzen Co. Ltd." (according to Japanese corporate law, "Maruzen Kabushiki Kaisha" and generally abbreviated to "Maruzen K.K.").
