He became a regular bullfighter at the Seville bullring in 1939, and became the most popular bullfighter under the Franco regime after the Spanish Civil War. He also had success in Mexico and the United States. He died in August 1947 at the Linares bullring in Jaén. His skilled and skillful swordplay was modest, but it became the basis of a new style of fighting that followed. [Watanabe Tetsuro]
