Quico:

Quico is a fictional character in the television series “El Chavo del Ocho”. Because of legal reasons with the show's creator, Roberto Gómez Bolaños, Quico is also known as Kiko. Quico is played by the actor Carlos Villagrán for the original television series and is voiced by Sebastián Llapur in the animated series. His complete name is Federico Mátalas Callando Corcuera, which comes from his mother’s name doña Florinda Corcuera y Villalpando, Vda. de Mátalas Callando. However on the official website of Chespirito his name is confirmed as Federico Bardón de la Regueira.

Personality:

Quico is nine years old, even though in one of the first episodes it said he was about to turn 7. He is the only child of Doña Florinda. A part of his character is that he always gets his way as his mother has raised him with the belief that he is the best child of the neighborhood. His mother also reminds him that the neighbors aren’t at his level of standards; however, Quico isn’t always convinced of this. His father, who was a ship lieutenant of the Mexican Navy, died when his ship crashed and was eaten by a shark. For this reason in the series they say “Federico rest in fish” and not in peace.

Typical Clothing:

Quico wears a sailor's outfit, similar to those at the beginning of the 20th century. The long sleeved shirt is a V-neck and has a red tie that has white stripes. He wears shorts to his knees as well as a hat of several colors: red, yellow and blue. The hat is glued to his head. He wears a pair of knee length socks that are yellow. His shoes are white. Quico’s clothing changed when the actor, Carlos Villagrán, renamed him “Federrico” and then later as “Kiko”. The clothes were updated to mainly white with red details and then red with white details instead of the typical black, respectively.
