## Biography[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Tetsuya_Endo&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Biography")]
Tetsuya Endo used to be credited as full kanji in the anime, yet currently he uses alias "えんどうてつや" (tramsforming all kanji characters into hiragana)[[Note 1]](#cite_note-1). Moreover, he is a freelance animator and a member of the Japan Film Directors Association.
After graduating from [Tokyo Metropolitan Fukagawa High School](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E9%83%BD%E7%AB%8B%E6%B7%B1%E5%B7%9D%E9%AB%98%E7%AD%89%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1 "wikipedia:ja:東京都立深川高等学校") (東京都立深川高等学校), Endo worked at animation company [Green Box](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%83%9C%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9 "wikipedia:ja:グリーン・ボックス") (グリーン・ボックス). After it went bankrupt in 1982, he entered [Production Loose](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ja:%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%80%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%C2%B7%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA "wikipedia:ja:プロダクション·ルーズ") (プロダクション·ルーズ) and worked as assistant technical director. Eventually, in 1983, he debuted as a proper episode director in the 2nd episode of anime *[God Mazinger](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Mazinger "wikipedia:God Mazinger")* (ゴッドマジンガー). He served as the director of *[Jankenman](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jankenman "wikipedia:Jankenman")* (ジャンケンマン) in 1991, and was known for his innovative incorporation of musical effects of musicals into his directed anime; aside from that, he even wrote some lyrices within.
In *Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba*, Endo joined the production in late 1993, and was involved in the production of four episodes.
