Agüero was born in Quilmes, Buenos Aires on 2 June 1988 into a large and poor family with seven children whose economic welfare for his prominent career meant a great help to them. His mother, Adriana, was a housewife, and his father, Leonel, was a taxi driver. Kun is the second child of the seven, but unlike his siblings Yesica, Gabriela, Maira, Daiana, Mauritius and Gaston, he took the name of his mother, Agüero, and not Del Castillo, the name of his father. Agüero started playing football at a young age and he often played on a pitch in his local neighbourhood, Villa Itali.[4] He was quoted as saying that the best place for children to learn how to play football was on the street, and that doing so helped him in his own development.[9] Agüero joined the junior teams of Club Atlético Independiente aged 9
