Kevin runs Kuru Kuru Pa, a casual-style chicken yakitori restaurant located at Resorts World’s Famous Foods Street. Meanwhile, he had worked in several food and beverage scenes before establishing Kuru Kuru Pa where he is the CEO and president. He took the business savvy nature of his father and is earning decently from his restaurant. He is well-known in the ever-evolving restaurant industry.
In addition to co-owing a restaurant and having a successful business collaboration, Steve and Kevin have a good relationship.
Information about Kevin’s personal and family life is not publicly known as he keeps a very low profile in this regard and does not have a presence on social media.

- Full name: Devon Edwenna Aoki
- Date of birth: 10th August 1982
- Age: 41 years old

Unlike her other siblings who primarily came to the limelight because of their association with Steve, Devon is famous in her own right. She started modeling at the age of 13 and made her professional debut in 1997.
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 that replaced Naomi Campbell in the face of Versace. This is for people that have the knowledge of 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.
Devon Aoki is a married woman. She is married to a man named James Bailey and together they have four children; a son and three daughters. 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.
