I am writing a book with the particular twist that between chapters it switches the point of view. For example, in the first chapter it is from the main character's point of view, then in the second chapter it is the sidekick's point of view.

How would I introduce the sidekick in that second chapter? I want people to know it is from a different point of view, but how?
