I said, I'm singing a song. And when someone is singing a song... don't shoot them.—Kenji Endō, Chapter 198
Kenji Endō (遠藤 健児 Endō Kenji) is one of the two main protagonists of the 20th Century Boys series.
He is Kanna's uncle and the leader of a group comprising some of his former classmates which aims to put a stop to "Friend's" plans.
As a child, he created the Book of Prophecy with his friends, book which "Friend" later made use of in his attempt to destroy the world in the year 2000.
Appearance[]
When he was a child, Kenji had short black hair and always wore a white cap. He was of standard height and was always seen wearing plain shirts and shorts.
As a young adult, Kenji had the same hairstyle, and he now wore square-patterned shirts and plain jackets. After the Bloody New Year's Eve, he used glasses and resumed his usage of a cap to conceal his identity.
In his later years, his outfit pretty much followed the same guidelines, but his hair had grown noticeably and he had an unkept residual beard. He always carried his guitar.
Personality[]
Kenji was a very joyful and upbeat child. He loved playing with his friends in all kinds of ways, and would not hesitate to defend them or their secret base. Nontheless, as courageous as he might be, he was also very easy to scare and startle. However, he never let his fears get the better of him. He also showed great resolve and initiative, seeing as building a secret base and writing the Book of Prophecy were both his ideas.
As a teen, Kenji strived to be a musician, and he let nothing get in his way.
As an adult, however, Kenji was still a very expressive person, but he was now a lot more serious- or rather, his boring day-to-day life numbed his usual expressive and joyful self considerably.
In his later years, Kenji was a lot less intense. He was a very quiet man, but he still retained his strong ideals. He let life carve a path for him instead of actively chasing something, though his unwavering passion for music remained.
