Meet Steve Aoki’s Only Brother, Kevin Aoki

Steve Aoki has only one biological brother named Kevin Aoki. It is not known the year Kevin was born but he celebrates his birthday on the 27th of every November.

Kevin runs Kuru Kuru Pa, a casual-style chicken yakitori restaurant located at Resorts World’s Famous Foods Street.

In addition to owning a restaurant together and working well as a team, Steve and Kevin get along well.
Kevin maintains a very low profile in this area and is not active on social media, thus details regarding his personal and family life are not known to the general public. It is obvious that Kevin only gained notoriety because of his brother’s fame because his work demands a media presence.

She has since then worked with and for several high-end companies and brands such as Balenciaga, Channel, Comme des Garçons, and many others. According to Dominic Cadogan of Dazed magazine, she is considered “One of the most recognizable alternative faces of the 90s.”
Devon is the model who replaced Naomi Campbell in the face of Versace. This is for people who know how high-rated, sought-after, and competitive Campbell was in her prime. Devon’s scramble to the top of the modeling class at the expense of its superstar simply placed her in the spot of several companies that were yearning to work with her.
As an actress, Devon Aoki has acted in about 12 movies, including Sean Lennon’s Friendly Fire, War, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, Zoom, etc. She has also appeared in music videos such as M.I.L.F. $ by Fergie, Bones by The Killers, Act a Fool by Ludacris, In Those Jeans Ginuwine, and Waste It On Me by his brother Steve Aoki.

One of her daughters, Alessandra, appeared in Guess Kids’ Spring 2018 advertising campaign. In 2009, Devon decided to retire from full-time acting and modeling to focus on being a mother and wife.
Regardless, she still attends events and makes appearances when there is a need. In March 2018, she, alongside her half-brother Steve, co-chaired the 2018 Red Cross Gala held in San Francisco. Now, needless to say, she and Steve equally have a cordial relationship.
