Like normal submarines, Surfermaru uses its headlights in order to view underneath the ocean, capable of diving and attacking the opponents from beneath with explosive torpedoes. The giant OtomoNin Shuriken: Surfer was placed on the back, which was used as the submarine's turbine. Surfermaru was among the OtomoNin created by Yoshitaka Igasaki and Tetsunosuke Saika the 21st, based on the blueprints of OtomoNin UFOmaru. After Kinji renewed his fighting spirit in defeating Youkai Umibozu, a Sealing Shuriken transformed into OtomoNin Shuriken: Surfer, thus unlocking Surfermaru. Surfermaru was first summoned by AkaNinger, easily evading Umibozu's attacks and transforming into its humanoid form.

StarNinger joined and named the OtomoNin, as he entered the Shurikenjin cockpit after Surfermaru combined with it Shurikenjin Surfer to destroy Umibozu. After StarNinger's deadline of defeating the Ninningers had passed, Surfermaru was given as a parting gift to him as he used it to get back to America. While Kinji was vacationing in Hawaii with Surfermaru, Takaharu forgot to give the Surfermaru Nin Shuriken to him when he left.
When the team needed Surfermaru and Takaharu realized this, he summoned the OtomoNin to help as both UFO Maru and Shurikenjin Drago were disabled. This also caused Kinji to be brought into the fight unintentionally, as he was still inside Surfermaru enjoying lunch when they summoned it. Using Shurikenjin Surfer, they defeated Otoroshi and convinced Kinji to stay in Japan.
During the Ninningers' last battle against Mangetsu Kibaoni and the Super Advanced Yokai Shuten-douji, Surfermaru was summoned alongside Paonmaru and UFOmaru to set free Lion Ha-Oh and Bison King, with Surfermaru routing Ariake no Kata and Masakage Tsugomori with a volley of surfer missiles. Soon after, Shurikenjin, piloted by Yoshitaka with Tsumuji and Shishi-Oh, briefly made use of all three auxilary OtomoNin against Mangetsu.
