Inazuma Eleven is an anime based on the manga and Nintendo DS game of the same name. It chronicles the tale of Endou Mamoru, an up-beat and skilled goalkeeper in his high school, Raimon Jr High. His team however was lackluster, as he seemed to be the only player that is motivated to train. This eventually threatened the teams existence, since a stipulation was made that unless they win their match against one of the strongest football teams in Japan, the team would be disbanded. But when a mysterious forward called Gouenji moves to Endou's school, he finds hope in his team's predicament and seeks out other skilled players to join their ranks.

The training notebooks Mamoru found in is grandfather's storage opened his mind to the amazing sport, igniting his passion for playing soccer. However, his mom wasn't so supportive of Mamoru's fondness of the game, which is due to soccer holding negative memories for her.
Endou is cheerful and optimistic, his love of the game fueling his determination, never giving up and being the person that always encourages his team to try harder. His positive nature would attract both ally and foe, inspiring them to become better soccer players both in skill and in attitude.

He would often study his grandfather's notes, which lead him to learning various hissatsu techniques.

Kidou would eventually strike a deal with his stepfather in order for him to be with his sister again. Kidou was tasked to win three consecutive national championships during his time at junior high—failing to do so would mean that he might not see Haruna ever again. His team would later face the Raimon Eleven, where the winner would be advancing to the Football Frontier, but during the match Kidou soon realized the evil acts of his coach, Kageyama Reiji.

The incident plagued him with a fear of the sound of falling snow, as it reminded him of the last moments he had with his family. The accident also caused Fubuki to develop a split personality, changing into his brother's persona whenever he plays offense in a match. This is due to his father's comment right before the avalanche happened, leading him to believe that in order for him to be a better player he must "become" his brother.
