Endeavor (Enji Todoroki) Fun Facts
Endeavor’s hero name wasn’t just a dramatic label — Kohei Horikoshi picked the English word “Endeavor” to reflect Enji’s defining trait: he’s constantly striving (endeavoring) to surpass All Might. It’s a deliberate character summary turned into his public identity, not just a cool-sounding name.
Obscurity Level: Obscure
Enji Todoroki’s real name literally ties him to fire: his given name “Enji” is written with the kanji 炎 (flame), while the family name Todoroki (轟) carries the sense of a roar/thunder. Horikoshi often picks kanji that reflect a character’s quirk, so even Enji’s civilian name reads like a tiny description of his Hellflame-powered, thunderous presence.
