Yuya Endo (遠藤 雄弥, Endō Yūya; born March 20, 1987) is a Japanese actor and singer under Meteora. He is best known for his role as Ryoma Echizen in The Prince of Tennis musical series (commonly known as Tenimyu). He was also part of a young men's stage acting troupe, D-BOYS, which perform in various skit-like performances.

Early life

[edit]

Endo was born in Atsugi, Kanagawa. His mother encouraged him to enter the entertainment career by joining a children's theater troupe, as he was perceived as an introvert, hoping that that immersion with children of his own age would make him open up. He didn't go voluntarily, until he was in upper Elementary, when he was moved by Issei Ishida's performance in the drama March of the Saints [ja]. He then started to actively seek auditions.[1]

Career

[edit]

Acting career

[edit]

Endo's major onscreen debut was for the 2000 film, Juvenile.[2][3] He also was a part of the Watanabe net drama, Hice Cool (2005), appearing alongside fellow D-Boy members, Kotaro Yanagi, Yuu Shirota, and Osamu Adachi.[4]

Endo also appeared, as a member of The Tigers in the TV drama, The Hit Parade [ja],[5] which aired May 26, 2006, on Fuji TV and co-starred fellow D-BOYS members Masato Wada, Shirota, Masaki Kaji, Hirofumi Araki, Hiroki Suzuki and Kōji Seto.

The D-boys have also starred in their own documentary variety series called, DD-Boys [ja] with fellow D-BOYS member, Kotaro Yanagi also playing himself, as they try to live in the D-house while the other D-Boys drop by. The show was 23 episodes long and ran from April 10 to September 25, 2006.[6][7]

Music career

[edit]

On November 16, 2005, Endo released an Idol DVD called Ao no Kiseki.[8]

In September, 2006, he, along with Shirota, appeared in the music video for Rag Fair's "Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Tate ni Naro", [9] playing a DJ in love with his co-host.

In June 2007, the D-BOYS starred in their very own musical together called, D-BOYS STAGE,[10] which ran from June 3 to June 10 at the Space Zero theater in Tokyo.[11]

Endo was brought into Tenimyu in 2004[12][13] as a replacement for fellow D-BOY member Kotaro Yanagi, who had been injured in a car accident,[14] as the main protagonist Ryoma Echizen. Endo made his debut as Echizen during the Dream Live 1st concert and would play the role while Yanagi was recovering. He also shared the role with Yanagi after his recovery as the so-called "Double Echizen", in two shows: Side Fudomine ~Special Match~ and Dream Live 2nd; Endo did all of the dance and tennis match choreography while Yanagi did stand still scenes due to his injuries. During his run in the musicals, Endo was able to work with other D-BOYS members: Kaji, Suzuki, Adachi, Araki, Wada, and former member Shirota.[15] On May 4, 2005, after the final performance for the Dream Live 2nd concert,[16] Endo graduated from his role. Yanagi would carry on as Echizen with the second generation Seigaku cast.

Photobooks

[edit]

The D-BOYS released two Photobooks. The first photobook released on April 27, 2005, was self-titled D-Boys,[17] while the second, released on March 15, 2006, was called Start,[18] both which contain many photos of Endo.

Personal life

[edit]

Endo announced on August 17, 2015, on his blog, his marriage in 2014 to a woman who he met through an aquaintance. They have a daughter born in July 2015.[19][20]

SNS

[edit]

Endo kept a blog with ocassional updates on his D-Boys webpage.[21]

Endo opened in 2021 a YouTube channel where he shares anything from videos with his cat, to travelogues, to unboxings.[22]
