Hiroyuki Endo's signature

Hiroyuki Endo (遠藤 大由, Endō Hiroyuki; born 16 December 1986) is a Japanese former badminton player who specialized in men's doubles. He represented Japan at the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics. With Kenichi Hayakawa, Endo won a bronze medal at the 2015 World Championships and was part of the Japanese team that won the 2014 Thomas Cup, the country's first title in the competition.

Endo later partnered Yuta Watanabe, with whom he won the men's doubles title at the 2019 Asian Championships and consecutive All England Open titles in 2020 and 2021. He retired from competitive badminton in March 2022 and subsequently became a coach with the BIPROGY badminton team.

Career

2006–2009: Early career and corporate team

While studying at Nippon Sport Science University, Endo won the men's singles title at the 2006 All Japan Intercollegiate Championships. After graduating, he joined the Nihon Unisys badminton team in April 2009.

2010–2016: Partnership with Kenichi Hayakawa

He subsequently formed a men's doubles partnership with Kenichi Hayakawa, and the pair won their first BWF Grand Prix title together at the 2010 Australian Open. They retained the Australian Open title in 2011 but were runners-up at Russian Open and the Indonesian Masters. They then won the U.S. Open in 2012. That year, they were also runners-up at the Asian Championships in Qingdao and at the China Masters and the Superseries Finals.

Endo and Hayakawa reached the final of the All England Open three times in succession, in 2013, 2014 and 2016, but lost on each occasion. They were also runners-up at the 2013 China Masters, the 2014 German Open, and the French Open, and won the bronze medal at the 2013 Asian Championships in Taipei.

Endo and Hayakawa also contributed to historic team results for Japan. At the 2014 Thomas Cup, they helped Japan claim its first title in the competition. In the semi-finals, they defeated China's Chai Biao and Hong Wei in straight games as Japan upset five-time defending champions China 3–0 to reach its first Thomas Cup final. In the final against Malaysia, the pair defeated Hoon Thien How and Tan Boon Heong in the first doubles rubber to level the tie at 1–1, and Japan went on to win 3–2. At the 2015 Sudirman Cup, Endo and Hayakawa were part of the Japanese team that reached the final for the first time, securing the country's first medal and its best result in the competition. Later that year, they won the bronze medal at the World Championships in Jakarta after losing a three-game semifinal to Liu Xiaolong and Qiu Zihan.

Endo and Hayakawa represented Japan at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. In the group stage, they recorded their first victory over reigning world champions Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan after nine previous defeats, advancing to the quarter-finals. However, a lower-back injury sustained by Hayakawa during training hampered their run, and they were eliminated by eventual bronze medallists Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge.

2017–2021: Partnership with Yuta Watanabe

Following the Rio Olympics and Hayakawa's subsequent retirement, the 30-year-old Endo considered ending his own career. He chose to continue after 19-year-old Yuta Watanabe asked him to form a partnership with the goal of competing at the Tokyo Olympics. The pair began competing together on the international circuit in 2017. In 2018, they won the Korea Open, where Endo claimed his first title after losing his previous nine Superseries and World Tour finals. They were also runners-up at the Malaysia Open and the Thailand Open, on both occasions losing to the Japanese pair Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda. They were also runners-up at the inaugural BWF World Tour Finals. In 2019, they won the German Open but were runners-up at the New Zealand Open and, for a second consecutive year, at the World Tour Finals. At the World Tour Finals, Endo and Watanabe defeated world No. 1 pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo twice, first in the group stage and again in the semi-finals. In April of that year, Endo and Watanabe became the first Japanese men's doubles pair to win the Asian Championships, defeating Indonesia's Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo 21–18, 21–3 in the final.

In March 2020, Endo won his first All England Open title in his fourth men's doubles final. He and Watanabe became the first Japanese men's doubles pair to win the event, defeating Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo in three games for their sixth consecutive victory over the Indonesian pair. At the end of 2020, Endo and Watanabe won the All Japan Championships, giving Endo his sixth men's doubles title at the tournament. He had previously won three consecutive titles with Hayakawa from 2012 to 2014, before adding three titles with Watanabe in 2017, 2019 and 2020. They successfully defended the All England Open title in 2021 against Kamura and Sonoda. At the 2020 Summer Olympics, held in Tokyo in July 2021, the pair reached the quarter-finals before losing to eventual gold medallists Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin.

2021–2022: Retirement and coaching

Endo stepped down from the Japanese national team at the end of September 2021. On 15 February 2022, he played a farewell exhibition match for Nihon Unisys, partnering Watanabe against Hayakawa and Takuto Inoue. He officially retired from competitive badminton on 31 March 2022 and subsequently became a coach with the BIPROGY badminton team.

Playing style

BWF commentators highlighted Endo's attacking power and defensive skills. Morten Frost described him as having a powerful smash and being able to generate power while moving across the rear court. Gillian Clark praised his ability to turn defence into attack through block shots, while Steen Pedersen noted his anticipation and ability to intercept opponents' shots.

In his partnership with Yuta Watanabe, Pedersen identified their preferred attacking formation as Watanabe at the net and Endo in the rear court. Clark and Frost praised the pair's ability to withstand attacking pressure and sustain rallies during flat exchanges. Against the aggressive, fast-paced attack of Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo, Frost observed that longer rallies favoured the Japanese pair and highlighted their use of defensive returns to move Gideon across the back court.
