Popular footballer Kaká has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 42nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Kaká, a cultural icon

Born Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite in Brasilia on April 22, 1982, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Brazilian history.

Happy Birthday, Kaká, you're the best!
