Is Diego Carlo from History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Mexican?

He is a master of Lucha Libre, uses some occasional Spanish words (Rachel Stanley even calls him "maestro"), and his name sounds vaguely Hispanic. I don't know if it has been stated explicitly on the Manga or somewhere else.

What is the song at the end of episode 6 of "Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple"?

Which song plays in episode 6 of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple at around the 21:40 mark? It's before the actual ending credits. It sounded a bit like the opening but changed up. But I don't think that's it.

Was there any reference to Shigure's brother before Chapter 545?

This chapter came to me as a real shocker. I always thought Shigure was an only child. As the title says, were there any references or perhaps even hints or foreshadowing that Shigure had a brother?
