Kaká made his international debut in January 2002 against Bolivia. He was a part of the national squad which won the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but did not see much action playing just 19 minutes of the first round match against Costa Rica. In 2003, he was the captain for the Gold Cup tournament in the US and Mexico, leading Brazil to the second place and scoring key goals against Colombia. Later, he was in action at the 2005 Confederations Cup, with Kaká scoring in the Confederation Cup final win over Argentina. (During the postmatch celebration, he and several of his teammates sported T-shirts with "Jesus Loves You" written in different languages.) He finished in joint tenth place in the voting for the 2004 FIFA World Player of the Year award. In the 2005 competition he finished two places higher. He played during the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign, helping Brazil qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Kaká made his debut at São Paulo FC in 2001 when he was 18 years old. In the first season, he scored 12 goals in 27 appearances, and 10 goals in 22 appearances in the following season. At the age of 17, while he was still at the youth squad, Sao Paulo was set to sell Kaká to Turkish 1st division side Gaziantepspor. The deal did not occur, however, because the manager of Gaziantepspor, Nurullah Sağlam, and the clubs board refused to pay a price of $1.5m for the 17 year old.[citation needed] After joining São Paulo FC senior squad, his performance attracted attention from European clubs.

He joined AC Milan in 2003 for US $8.5 m, a fee described in hind-sight as "peanuts" by club owner Silvio Berlusconi.[4] Within a month, he became a first team regular, and he has been a starter ever since. He debuted in Serie A in an away match against Ancona, which Milan won 2-0. He scored 10 goals in 30 appearances that season, winning the Italian Serie A Championship and the European Super Cup.

Kaká was an integral part of the five-man midfield in the 2004-05 season, usually playing in a withdrawn role behind striker Andriy Shevchenko. He scored 7 goals in 36 league appearances, and also won the Italian Super Cup with the club. Milan finished second to Juventus in the Serie A, and lost the UEFA Champions League final to Liverpool on penalty kicks. He was voted the best midfielder of the Champions League tournament. He also ended up in the ninth place in the 2005 Golden Ball poll, earning 19 votes.

One of Kaká's most notable goals has been the one against Fenerbahçe SK in the AC Milan's first game in the 2005-06 Champions League, won 3-1 by the Rossoneri. It had pundits draw instant comparisons to Diego Maradona, as Kaká started his run from the midfield and skipped past three tackles before entering the area and finishing with a low shot under Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Volkan Demirel.

On April 9, 2006, he scored his first Rossoneri hat-trick against Chievo Verona. All three goals were scored in the second half.

In 2006, Real Madrid showed an interest in signing the 24 year old star, but Milan refused to sell. Kaká signalled his intention to stay by signing a contract extension until 2011.

On November 1, 2006, AC Milan moved to within a point of the UEFA Champions League knockout stages as Kaká scored a hat-trick to help the team win 4-1 against RSC Anderlecht. This was his second hat-trick at Milan and his first hat-trick in European competitions.

Kaká is considered by many experts and journalists that he is the best player in the world. A poll by the Brazilian magazine O`globo was made with the question who's the best player in the world? The results showed that Kaká got 81,5% of the votes, while Ronaldinho got 11%. Other discussions took place on Gazzeta dello sport, the Italian giant, where the same topic was brought up. Kaká won also there and was claimed to be the best player in the world, the panel in gazzeta dello sport was a group of experts.

In November 2006, Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti made a statement that Kaká should win the golden ball that year.

Kaká is the current top scorer in the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League along with Ruud van Nistelrooy after an extra-time goal against Celtic F.C. at the Stadio San Siro which led AC Milan into the quarter-finals of the 2006-07 UEFA Champions League.
