Endou Mamoru is the captain of Raimon jr. High's Soccer team. He starts out as a goalie but also plays as libero later on. He is the type of person who never gives up and his teammates benefit from his mental strength and encouragement. Mamoru always thinks of others before himself. He also shows great admiration toward his grandfather [Daisuke](https://anilist.co/character/31778/), which was also one of the greatest goalkeepers around when he was alive.
