El Kun Aguero – The Japanese nickname of Manchester City’s newest signing
Small of stature but grossly talented big things beckon for Sergio ‘El Kun’ Aguero. The 5’7” striker is of a type not commonly seen in Europe. He has all the skills and twinkling feet of the stereotypical “diminutive” small striker, but also the cunning, strength and street smart that comes from a South American football education. He has been likened to Romario and described as Tevez 2.0 but Aguero has the talent to make a name for himself in the city of Manchester.
He also has a Japanese nickname.
Born in Argentina some 20 odd years ago El Kun was christened by his brothers who thought he bore a resemblance to an ever smiling Japanese cave-boy anime character. They took ‘Kum Kum’ from the show’s cherubic lead and shortened it to Kun – the name stuck.
Aguero came of age as a 19 year old - beating Barca single handed.
All will be smiles if El Kun continues in similar vain.

Kun is a friendly Japanese honorific used for males of junior status in the workplace, school or social situation. It sounds cute and can be used by females as a term of affection toward a fondly regarded male. But as always with Japanese honorifics it is never clear cut – better too polite than rude.
