Siddhattha Gotama is the founder of Buddhism. Yes, he was a human.
Buddhism began in India in the 6th century BC. The founder's name is Siddhattha Gotama. He is referred to as Buddha.
The Buddha did not concern himself with answering the question of whether there is a God or Gods since it is not relevant to what he was searching for, which is an end to suffering. Buddhists do not consider The Buddha, Siddhattha Gotama, a God. Some Buddhists believe that there is a heavenly realm where people can attain temporary god-hood, but this belief is not universal.
He was looking for the real meaning of the life
Siddhartha and Gotama is the same person.

Siddhartha felt indebted to Gotama, the Buddha, because he recognized Gotama's profound understanding of suffering and the path to enlightenment. Siddhartha admired how Gotama had achieved liberation and shared his insights with others, which inspired Siddhartha to seek his own truth. Although Siddhartha ultimately chose to follow his own path, he appreciated Gotama's teachings as a significant influence on his spiritual journey. This sense of gratitude stemmed from Gotama’s role in illuminating the possibility of enlightenment.
We don't know one either!
Buddhism is the way of life taught by a man who lived about 2,500 years ago in India, Siddhattha Gotama, who set out to relieve human suffering, and had a deep insight into the ways in which we make ourselves suffer. It is sometimes called a religion but whether it is a religion depends on how you define the word -- if your definition requires a belief in deities or things beyond human understanding, then Buddhism is not really a religion (though some of its varieties do incorporate these; they are additions, not the core teachings). If you accept William James definition (see below) then Buddhism is a religion. "Were one asked to characterize the life of religion in the broadest and most general terms possible, one might say that it consists of the belief that there is an unseen order, and that our supreme good lies in harmoniously adjusting ourselves thereto." -- William James, Varieties of Religious Experience, 1902.
Govinda chooses to become one of Gotama's followers because he quickly resolves to give himself over completely to the lifestyle Gotama prescribes. He is completely swayed by him and decides to join his followers permanently.
