A bullfighter is called a torero. There are three classes of toreros:Matador - the man charged with artistically killing the bull.

Banderillero - men who assist the matador and place the decorated banderillas.

Picador - the horse-mounted torero who jabs the bull's tossing muscle with a lance.


When the bull enters the ring the first person who will perform a few simple passes is a banderillero. During this time the matador will study how the bull charges and tailor his performance based on what he sees. He will then take the large cape, the capote, and perform a few passes and help guide the bull to the picador.
