Rubenilson dos Santos da Rocha (born September 23, 1987) is a Brazilian football striker. He currently plays for Belgian Jupiler League side RSC Anderlecht. His previous team was Grêmio Recreativo Barueri.
He chose his football name as a reference to Nwankwo Kanu.
Before signing at Anderlecht, Kanu was on trial with FC Groningen. Even though the staff were convinced of his skills, Kanu wasn't offered a contract as he didn't match the profile of the striker Groningen were searching at that time. Some reports suggest they thought that the Brazilian was the 'real', Nigerian, Kanu who was playing for Portsmouth FC.
