Background
He is he captain of a soccer team that only consisted of 6 members. But because of his perosnality, many people acknowledged him and joined him in playing soccer.Endou's attitude is always positive thinking towards soccer: outgoing, straightforward and hyperactive when it comes to the sport. Always hardworking towards his dream of becoming soccer's number one and being loyal towards his fellow team players, but quite naive towards anything other than soccer, such as girls. (like his unawareness about Aki Kino and Natsumi's feelings for him). His philosophy towards soccer is about enjoying it fair and square. He also possesses a strong sense of justice and prone to anger towards those who foul soccer, and will never fear from abandoning his post to assist his team players in need for combination moves for showing his opponents what soccer is truly about. His positiveness and vastness towards his goal however, can stray himself for looking out the condition of his teammates, but matures later on from sorting his teammates' problems out as his responsibilities as team captain.

Endou has brown hair,black eyes, and eyebrows, and is seen wearing an orange headband. He has a striking resemblance to his grandfather (without the mustache).His Raimon goalie uniform is described by his shirt with green sleeves with 6 teal stripes along his sides, followed by teal among the rest of hist shirt and pants. He also wears teal spike sneakers sported with a lightning-shaped logo on the middle of both sides.

Personality

He also shows great admiration toward his grandfather, Daisuke, and studies the technique-filled notebooks that his grandfather wrote years ago. People around him call him a soccer freak due to his love for soccer. Because of his positive personality, he attracts people even if they're enemy or ally.
