Enji Todoroki (轟炎司, Todoroki Enji), usually known by his hero title Endeavor, is a supporting character of the shounen manga and anime series Boku no Hero Academia by Kōhei Horikoshi.
Canon
Enji is a Pro Hero and the No. 2 ranked Hero at the start of the series. He is envious of All Might's position as No. 1, and has worked his entire career to surpass All Might. He also married and had kids specifically with the goal of raising a successor to surpass All Might, and his mistreatment of his children lead to an incredibly strained relationship with them.
