Ronaldinho Goucho

Ronaldinho Gaucho

Ronaldinho is an easy-going, cheerful kid who manages to attract attention and admiration from everyone because of his magic while playing soccer. He likes samba, funk and rap. When Ronaldinho is not playing ball, he is studying, singing or playing video games with his friends. He reads comic books and pretends he is a superhero, running around with a towel as a cape. He is quick and curious, the way every child should be.

Asis

Asis

Ronaldinho's big brother is also his idol and best friend. They play football together, trading tips, tactics and passes, and creating moves to use during the next game against other teams. And united, they always win.

Daisy

Daisy

She is the middle sister, very close to Ronaldinho Gaucho, always watching over him like a guardian angel. She knows her brother so well that she can tell when he is hiding something or is up to one of his tricks. Daisy is feisty and clever and has an advantage over all the boys on the team: the unbeatable feminine intuition!

Diego

Diego

Ronaldinho Gaucho's No. 1 fan. He is always glued to our hero, following him everywhere. He wants to learn all the moves that Ronaldinho makes with the ball and even imitates the way he dresses and celebrates his goals. Diego is 5 years old and the short boy on the team.

Mother

Ms. Miguelina (mother)

She is a good-humored, affectionate and protective mother, always trying to find a balance between reason and heart. A wise lady, she has solid advice for everyone. She is like all mothers and comes off with flying colors.

Champ

Champ

Champ is a short-haired, grayish small mutt, very clever and playful. Champ is Asis' little pet but is much more attached to Ronaldinho, and thinks he is his real owner; because of this, he never obeys Asis' commands, which makes him very upset.

Fireball

Fireball

Fireball is a big dog, a Pyrenees Mastim breed, that belongs to Ronaldinho Gaucho. Fireball is a clumsy but totally lovable dog and has a heart proportional to his size: huge! Fireball will do anything to stay close to his owner.
