{{nihongo|'''Choji "Marucho" Marukura'''|丸蔵 兆治 (マルチョ)|Marukura Chōji (Marucho)|}}<ref>''[[Invasion of the Vestals]]''</ref> is a main character in the anime series, ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]''. He is the [[Battle Brawlers]]' main [[Aquos#Legacy|Aquos]] brawler and maintains this position across its three sequels, ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia|New Vestroia]]'', ''[[Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders|Gundalian Invaders]]'', and ''[[Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge|Mechtanium Surge]]''. He also made appearances in the video games, as well as ''[[Bakugan Dimensions]]''.

His first [[Guardian Partner Bakugan]] is [[Preyas]], who has the alternate [[Angelo/Diablo (Marucho Marukura)|Preyas]] form. In ''New Vestroia'', because of Preyas' capture by the [[Vestal]]s, Marucho takes [[Elfin]] as his Guardian Partner Bakugan. In ''Gundalian Invaders'', he uses [[Akwimos]]. He uses [[Infinity Trister]] as his Guardian Partner in the first arc, and [[Radizen]] and [[Roxtor]] in the second.

*Marucho has had the most Guardians Partners with two or one under his ownership, as Shun only had [[Ingram]] after [[Storm Skyress]] decided to stay in [[New Vestroia]], [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]] being [[Dan]]'s only GuardianPartner, and most of the other characters being absent from the events of other seasons.*Marucho is the only member of the Brawlers whose Guardians Partners are from all worlds seen (Preyas, Elfin, and Radizen from Vestroia/New Vestroia, Akwimos from Neathia, and Trister from Gundalia).

**Marucho's age differs on older TV Tokyo sites, being listed as one year younger than his canonical age of 11.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070510004845/http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/bakugan/ TV Tokyo Character page]</ref>**Although Dan is said to be 12 in ''Battle Brawlers'' and 15 in ''New Vestroia'' and Shun is said to be 13 in ''Battle Brawlers'' and 16 in ''New Vestroia'', Marucho is said to be 11 in ''Battle Brawlers'' and 13 in ''New Vestroia''. It is possible that his birthday hadn't passed yet in which case, he might have turned 14 during the 6-month timeskip between Arc 1 and Arc 2 of ''New Vestroia''.*He is one of the seven characters that have appeared in all four seasons; the other six are [[Dan Kuso]], [[Drago (Dan Kuso)|Drago]], [[Shun Kazami]], [[Julie Makimoto]], [[Miyoko Kuso]], and [[Kato]].
