Career

After graduating from high school, Endō moved to Tokyo to become a voice actress. She enrolled in the Performing Arts Center, the training school led by Nachi Nozawa, and graduated after repeating a year. She said that the reason she decided to go to the training school was because her parents knew Nozawa and thought he would be a safe option. When she was in the training school, she was not good at theater, and according to Nozawa, she once said that she hated theater. She wanted to do plays, but did not want to act in love scenes, and she was not allowed to graduate as a result, so Nozawa decided to make plays without love scenes. In addition, since she originally wanted to be a voice actor, the principal's words about being an actor before being a voice actor weighed heavily on those around him, and when the class and the school were asked who wanted to be a voice actor, Endō was the only one who raised her hand.

In the internet radio program Plume Monogatari, she formed the voice acting unit "Plume" with Manabi Mizuno and Shiho Kawaragi, but it is currently inactive.
