Sportacus

Sportacus is one of the two main heroes (alongside Stephanie) of the Icelandic children's television show LazyTown.
His name is a portmanteau of the ancient figure Spartacus and the word sport which represents his athleticism. Sportacus humbly describes himself as a "slightly-above-average hero", though his friends have a higher opinion of him, calling him "superhero".
He speaks English and Icelandic and is from "an island in the North Sea." In the past, LazyTown was protected by a similar hero from that area with a #9 on his chest (Sportacus wears a number 10). In the first episode when Stephanie was trying to think of how to encourage LazyTown's kids to get active, she sent a message through a tube that was used to communicate with #9, and Sportacus received her message and came to LazyTown. Exactly what #9 and Sportacus' connection is to each other hasn't been explained by the show yet.
Sportacus encourages the LazyTown kids to eat fruits and vegetables (which he calls "sports candy") and play outside instead of eating junk food and sitting around indoors. He wants to make sure LazyTown is happy, and knows that they have to be healthy and fit if they want to be happy. He is opposed by the sinister (yet active and energetic) Robbie Rotten, who seeks to return LazyTown to its former state: a lazy town. Sportacus is so engaged in his life of physical activity that he does gymnastics just to get from place to place—even doing acrobatic flips just to get from one side of his kitchen table to the other—and the children have to instruct him on how to relax.
