Satoshi Murayama (村山聖, murayama satoshi, June 15, 1969 – August 8, 1998) was a Japanese professional shogi player who achieved the rank of 9-dan.^[1]

As a child, he spent much of his time hospitalized due to nephrotic syndrome. He later acquired bladder cancer but focused on shogi rather than getting treatment.^[2]

The movie Satoshi: A Move for Tomorrow was based on Murayama's life as a shogi professional.^[2]

Nikaidō Harunobu from the manga series March Comes in like a Lion is a character modeled after Murayama.
