Wikipedia

A bullfighter (or matador) is a performer in the activity of bullfighting. Torero (Spanish) or toureiro (Portuguese), both from Latin taurarius, are the Spanish and Portuguese words for bullfighter and describe all the performers in the activity of bullfighting as practised in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and other countries influenced by Portuguese and Spanish culture.

The main performer and leader of the entourage in a bullfight is addressed as maestro (master), or matador.

The other bullfighters in the entourage are called subalternos and their suits are embroidered in silver as opposed to the matador's gold. They include the picadores, rejoneadores, and banderilleros.
