What is the name of the young musician at the center of Pixar’s Coco?

Miguel Rivera is the young musician at the center of Pixar’s Coco.

Miguel is a 12-year-old boy from Santa Cecilia who secretly wants to become a musician. His family has banned music for generations because Miguel’s great-great-grandfather left his wife, Imelda, and their daughter to pursue a musical career. Miguel identifies strongly with the famous singer Ernesto de la Cruz and hopes to follow in his footsteps.

During Día de los Muertos, Miguel enters the Land of the Dead after taking De la Cruz’s guitar from his mausoleum. There he meets deceased relatives and begins uncovering the truth about his family history.

Miguel’s character was voiced by Anthony Gonzalez, who was a child actor when the film was made. The name “Rivera” is shared by many members of his extended family, so it is more precise than simply answering “Miguel.”
