Endeavor

Endeavor, also known as Enji Todoroki, is a villain from the manga My Hero Academia. He is the father of Shouto Todoroki and the 2nd highest ranked superhero. He is the primary antagonist of the U.A. Sports Festival Arc.

Appearance
Enji is a very tall man with short, spiky, red hair and his face is covered with flames, masking his full face. When he turns off his flames on his face voluntary, his stubble shows.[3]

His Hero Costume is comprised of a flame domino mask, with a flame mustache and a long beard. Most of his body is covered in flames.

Personality
Enji has been shown that he is a very prideful and resentful person, as seen that he hates being No. 2 Hero for so long and wants to be No 1. Since he isn't able to do it himself, he is even willing to do what ever it takes to surpass him, so he devises a plan to "create" someone who can surpass him. Enji appears to be a horrible father on account of the fact that he seems to care little for his youngest son; furthermore, Enji uses Shouto as only a "tool" to further his own desires. He even called Shouto's siblings, his own children "things" who inhabit different worlds. Enji's heartless and selfish attitude is further emphasized when he constantly abused his wife and trained Shouto to the point where his youngest son threw up, showing that he only cares about himself and his goals. According to Present Mic, Enji is usually not a sociable person.

History
Out of envy for All-Might's hero ranking, he forced an arranged marriage with a woman with an Ice Quirk so that he could produce an heir capable of surpassing All-Might. After three failed attempts, his fourth child, Shouto, had a Quirk that allowed him to use both fire and ice. When Shouto was only five, he isolated him from his siblings so he could put him through a rigorous training regimen. His wife would often call him out on putting the young Shouto through such harsh training. His abuse towards both Shouto and his wife would take a toll on the latter's sanity.

One day, Mrs. Todoroki is on the phone with her mother talking about how she couldn't take their marriage anymore. When Shouto walked into the room, she snapped and threw boiling water in his face out of hatred for Endeavor. Endeavor would have her committed to a mental institution so that she wouldn't interfere with Shouto's training, which results in Shouto finally declaring his hatred for his father and would refuse to use his Fire Quirk out of spite (unless in an emergency like when he froze a student he was sparring with).

During the U.A. Sports Festival Arc, he is seen spectating the event. Shouto wished for a better challenge during the event because he was watching. When Shouto refuses to use his Fire Quirk, this prompts a scolding from Endeavor. After a pep talk from Izuku, Shouto finally decides to unleash his Fire Quirk, which causes Endeavor to proudly declare that he'll surpass him. After Shouto's match with Izuku, he tells him how proud he is and allows him to be his sidekick, but Shouto tells him that the only reason he was able to use his Fire Quirk because for a brief moment, he forgot about him.

During the Field Training Arc, Shouto chose his work place to gain experience in the field of heroism. During the Noumu attack of Hosu, Endeavour hopes that he could encounter Chizome Akaguro, aka, the Hero-Killer, Stain. After the battle against Stain, Endeavor took credit for his defeat by suggestion of the Police Chief for Izuku's protection.

After the incident during the School Trip, Endeavor complains about having to rescue Katsuki Bakugou because it would interfere with his busy schedule. His complaining continues when he's only assigned to stay with the police while the other heroes raid the League of Villains' lair.
