"An insatiable curiosity and boundless energy make the scrappy Bello a driving force among his friends. He reads a lot of comic books---his favorite being Jammboman which he has actually created himself! Bello has big ideas and values his friends, especially his best friend and sidekick Goomo.

His very presence can put a smile on your face. These attributes make Bello nearly everyone’s go-to guy for good times and adventures. And if there are no adventures, he’ll invent one with many twists and turns."

Personality
Bello is an extroverted and cheerful young boy with boundless energy. When something interests him, he approaches it with lots of enthusiasm. Bello is a true thrill-seeker who seeks to find fun in each and every moment, and he gets along well with others because of his outgoing and optimistic nature. He’s also quite imaginative and creative. He considers the Jammboman comics to be his magnum opus - he might not be the most talented artist and draws with rushed strokes, but he’s proud of his work and loves to bring his superhero persona to life through imaginative play. When Bello has a creative idea - which happens quite often - he sticks to his goal to bring that idea to reality. Bello’s main interests include superheroes, comics, and playing any sorts of games. He’s also a skilled dancer.

Because of his age, Bello is rather childish - but this comes with its pros and cons. On the positive side, he is very curious and inquisitive, which has allowed him to gain a strong general knowledge of many things. However, he can be a bit stubborn, impatient, and even the slightest bit selfish at times. Bello also has the tendency to draw attention towards himself whether it’s positive and intentional or negative and totally unintentional. It can be a bit difficult for him to listen to and follow directions (as shown in episodes such as “Inventor Bello,” “Apprentice Bello” and “Inner Space”), as sometimes he prefers doing what makes him happy over what is morally right. When Bello has to do a task he does not like, such as Mina’s superhero training in “Super Speed” or taking care of the titular plant in “The Plant,” Bello has the tendency to ignore it or give up. Occasionally he might even display a rude side, such as in “Operation: Save Jammbo” when he mocked Mina after she doubted his giant paper airplane would fly. He does value his friendships, though, and often looks out for those who are younger than him such as Goomo or Rita.

Appearances

Trivia

 * He does not wear pants, making him the only Jammbonian seen on the show to not be fully-clothed.
 * He had two different shirt designs in early production images; one was a plain black-and-white striped shirt and the other was a white shirt with a capital letter "B" on it.
 * To voice Bello, Lizzie Waterworth uses her famous “Horrid Henry” voice. She used the same voice for Austin in the UK dub of The Backyardigans.
 * In the Indonesian English and Thai dubs, Bello’s voice is done by an adult male causing him to sound much older than he really is. This is also the case for Goomo.
 * His symbol in the end credits is the lightning bolt logo on his shirt.
