Amigo

Amigo is the main protagonist of Samba de Amigo.

Appearance
Amigo is an orange monkey with a rounded cube like head and a face that is almost just drawn on. He is very rarely seen not smiling from ear to ear, and has blue eyes. His tail is bent and spikes out at the end.

He wears blue jean shorts, a green waistcoat vest with a red diamond pattern on it, a red ascot tied around his neck, and a large sombrero with a red and green zigzag pattern adorning the brim. In his left ear he has two earrings.

Amigo is almost always seen with his personal maracas which are red in color with the same pattern as his hat.

History
Amigo debuted in the game Samba de Amigo on the Dreamcast in 1999.

Amigo the monkey was from a not-so-wealthy family of the rural mountains.

One day when Amigo was on his way downtown on some errands, he encountered something that would forever change his life. It all started in front of the window of the one and only musical instrument shop in town.

Amigo asked the shopkeeper as he gleefully stared at the bright red maracas, "Mister, could I shake 'em, could I?" The shopkeeper reluctantly allowed Amigo to shake the maracas, and this instantly triggered a burning sensation that he had never experienced before. "Samba, Amigo! This is awesome!! -- With these maracas, I'll be able to support my family for sure!" A couple of weeks late, he made the decision to leave his comfortable home.

After becoming a huge success and earning the title of the Great Maracas King, Amigo returned to his hometown in the rural mountains. Amigo is still a little guy after all, and everybody needs their families!

One day, a loud bang is heard in the mountains. The sound came from an airship modeled in the shape of Amigo's face, and it stopped right in front of Amigo's house. Suddenly, Amigo's little sister Amiga, a celebrity in her own right, appeared.

After their loving reunion, Amiga grabbed Amigo and took him onboard, and they quickly jetted off to one of the biggest cities known as Maracas City. "I wanna dance with you big brother!" said Amiga. The music started suddenly without any warning, but Amigo quickly caught the groove, kick-starting the first-ever live performance of the brother and sister super-duo.
