Yamato Endo is shown in the Wind Breaker series as a tall, slim teenager with relatively long, messy hair that falls behind his ears.

In the manga, he initially wears a black tank top under a checkered jacket, but later switches to a dark grey yukata during the Noroshi War arc.

In terms of personality, Endo is a carefree and warm-natured young man, particularly around Takiishi Chika. He has a troubled obsession with being satisfied; if things don't go as he expects, he becomes extremely aggressive. He is infatuated with Chika, whom he refers to as a God, and later develops a similar obsession for Sakura during the Roppo-Ichiza arc.

Yamato Endo's role in the Wind Breaker storyline

Yamato Endo and Chika Takiishi are the co-leaders of the Noroshi team, a group of ten battle-hungry individuals who oppose Bofurin's ideology of peace and coexistence between the different factions of Furin High School and the neighboring townsfolk. When he was young, Endo was hailed as a prodigy. He excelled in both academics and sports, earning admiration from everyone.

After meeting Takiishi, Endo became fascinated by his personality and character. Endo's obsession with Takiishi led him to transfer to the same elementary school that Takiishi attended. Despite Takiishi's constant attempts to push Endo away, the latter persistently followed him and complied with whatever Takiishi commanded.

Endo was first teased in the anime's season 2 episode 3, after Furin High School defeated KEEL, when he exclaimed that Furin had become weaker than before. In the manga, Endo makes his full appearance at the conclusion of the Roppo-Ichiza arc.

While it was revealed that Endo came to check on Shuhei Suzuri's progress in capturing Shizuka, it was also when Endo became interested in Haruka Sakura, the main protagonist. Subsequently, Endo and Takiishi declared war on Furin, aiming to trash the town that Furin protects and return it to its former glory. However, their ultimate goal was later revealed to be the defeat of Hajime Umemiya.
