Chikara Ennoshita, a second-year student at Karasuno High during the main events, initially joined the volleyball club as a first-year. He temporarily left alongside Hisashi Kinoshita and Kazuhito Narita, struggling with former coach Ikkei Ukai's demanding training. They later dubbed themselves "The Ungrateful Second Years" after realizing volleyball's importance and returning. His average appearance features medium-length dark brown hair parted near the middle and brown eyes often lending a somewhat sleepy expression, causing him to frequently go unnoticed during matches. He stands at 175.4 cm (5'9") and weighs 66.4 kg. Typically quiet and reserved, often seen with a gentle smile, Ennoshita demonstrates boldness interacting with fellow second-years. He possesses a notable ability to understand and relate to different individuals, serving as a stabilizing presence for underclassmen. This, combined with being the only second-year capable of effectively managing Ryūnosuke Tanaka and Yū Nishinoya's energetic personalities, positioned him as a strong candidate for future leadership, though he initially lacked confidence in his volleyball abilities due to limited match experience. Academically proficient, he never received a failing grade. When Asahi Azumane and Nishinoya temporarily left, Ennoshita filled in as a wing spiker. After their return, he transitioned to consistently cheering from the bench during official matches without missing any games. His significant on-court opportunity came during the Spring High Preliminary match against Wakutani Minami High when captain Daichi Sawamura was injured. Initially pressured replacing Daichi and doubting his leadership, Ennoshita was surprised his teammates expected him to step in. He experienced difficulties but rallied after recalling his past departure, loudly challenging opponents and successfully receiving the next ball. He defended first-year Kei Tsukishima from criticism. Following encouragement from Tanaka to play authentically rather than imitate Daichi, he adapted his strategy to counter Takeru Nakashima's spikes. Contributing to the victory and receiving Daichi's praise, Ennoshita displayed visible regret over his performance, noting half his spike attempts missed and his defensive efforts only intensified later. He subsequently regained motivation focusing on upcoming matches. Beyond volleyball, Ennoshita possesses filmmaking skills, creating several amateur movies featuring teammates and other players that earned him the nickname "Director Ennoshita." His projects include titles like "Final Haikyuu Quest," "Crow's Angels," and "The Day Armageddon Arrives On Earth." His name, meaning "Power Under the Fate," originates from the Japanese expression "en no shita no chikara mochi," signifying a person who performs thankless tasks without expecting recognition. After high school graduation, Ennoshita became the volleyball team captain during his third year. By 2018, he worked as a physical therapist. His appearance post-timeskip remains largely unchanged, though his hair appears slightly longer.
