Sergio Aguero, a footballer frequently compared to a young Maradona, has the nickname "Kun" which he explains as follows:
"Kun actually represents a Japanese cartoon character from my favourite series that I used to watch as a child. I coined the nickname Kun because of my resemblance to the character, who was actually named Kum Kum. My grandparents were the first ones who gave me the name. I think my nickname is different in comparison to most athletes and so I have grown to appreciate it because it's unique. It's not everyday an athlete is nicknamed after a cartoon character!"
