"More Photos of The Justin Bieber of Bullfighting\n\nThe day of a bullfight unfolds with pageantry, camaraderie, autograph seekers, anticipation, and, of course, blood. When asked whether he's scared of getting gored, Michelito says, \"Worse than the blows is a day without triumph.\"\n\nMichelito's parents, Michel (left) and Diana (center); his younger brother and fellow bullfighter, Andresito (right).\n\"Michelito is a worldwide phenomenon without precedent,\" says Ernesto Riveroll (center), the 80-year-old president of Michelito's fan club, who has traveled to all of the 12-year-old's fights and whose apartment is filled with Michelito memorabilia. The young bullfighter's entourage also includes Paco Dominguez (right), an adviser who owns a well-known bullfighting shop in Mexico City, and El Tijuano (bottom left), Michelito's mozo de espadas\u2014a combination cornerman, equipment manager, and personal assistant.\n\nFanclub president Ernesto Riveroll, whom everyone knows as Don Ernesto, observes of Michelito's first bull: \"It didn't lend much to the brilliance.\" Michelito's cornerman, El Tijuano, adds that the bull is manso\u2014meek. \"There are two kinds of bulls,\" El Tijuano explains, \"manso and bravo. This one was manso.\" At this, Don Ernesto chuckles. \"Yes,\" he says, \"but there's also manso peligro. You know, like a mother-in-law.\" Roughly translated: relatively docile, but dangerous if forced to defend itself.\n\nMichelito dutifully prays before each fight. \"I do think about God,\" he says. \"But the thing I think about most is being the day's victor.\"\nWhen associate editor Laurence Lowe (above, center) traveled to Mexico to watch 12-year-old matador Michelito Lagravere at a bullfight, he was quickly enveloped by the prodigy's family. \"We stayed at the same hotel,\" Lowe says. \"They were a few doors down, and at night everyone hung out in the courtyard, drinking beers and singing.\" When the sun came up, Michelito was all business in the ring, but Lowe saw another side of him. \"At one point he kept tapping me on one shoulder and disappearing behind the other. He is unmistakably still a boy.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
