Chikara Ennoshita

Chikara Ennoshita (Ennoshita Chikara) is a 2nd year at Karasuno High. He is one of the team's wing spikers. Ennoshita is an average-looking guy with a sleepy look on his face. He doesn't attract much attention and often goes unmentioned even when he's on court.

He seems quiet and reserved but can behave boldly towards the other 2nd years. He's smart and hasn't received a failing mark before. Similarly to Sugawara, he is always smiling. He's supposedly the only one within the 2nd years to be able to control Tanaka and Nishinoya. He's also able to understand different people, as stated a few times by Tanaka and when he knew what to do to give Yamaguchi some courage before his jump float serve.

Prior to the events in Haikyuu, Ennoshita leaves the volleyball team, together with Kinoshita and Narita as they are unable to keep up with Ikkei Ukai's harsh training methods. They come back after they hear about Ukai Sr.'s hospitalization and regret their decision, starting to call themselves "The Ungrateful Second Years". His regular position on the team is taken by Tanaka and Asahi. He can be seen cheering from the bench during games. Ennoshita's fundamentals all seem pretty much intermediate, as commented by Iwaizumi, his playing style isn't that bad, but wasn't that outstanding overall. No ability in particular stands out, but is level headed and smart during in games, despite his lack of game sense in volleyball being much lower than Sugawara and Daichi. This was showcased as he was able to deduce Takeru's plan of using his blockouts every time he goes up against blockers, each time he attempts to spike the ball. Even though he is a bench player, his smart thinking in games is what got him voted to be the next captain for the whole team next year, by the time the current third years graduate and leave for university.
