'''Kevin''' is a non-playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]''. In the Game Boy Color game, he is the highest-ranking player at the [[Royal Tennis Academy|Academy]], although that changes once [[Alex]] or [[Nina (Mario Tennis series)|Nina]] (depending on the player's choice) wins the [[Island Open]]. In the Game Boy Advance game, he's the coach of the Academy's Varsity Class.

Knowing how hard it is to reach the top, he takes a more realistic approach to tennis than [[Mark (Mario Tennis series)|Mark]] and [[Emily]], rarely speaking optimistically even in the face of a victory, although he does not speak pessimistically to players, either. He takes his job--and that of his students--very seriously. Even after [[Clay]] or [[Ace]] wins the Island Open, he does not act impressed (or possibly he means it as words of encouragement due to overhearing what Elroy, Tori, and Flit had been saying), saying that most people view the victory as a fluke unless they win again the following year--which cannot be done in the game.

==Trivia==
*Although Kevin is a non-playable character in both games of appearance, the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|Mario Tennis]]'' features a full, working, playable character sprite set for Kevin in the game's data, though his select icon is simply a question mark. This can only be accessed through means of game modifying hardware. All graphics of Kevin's were removed from the US and EU versions of the game with the exception of his HUD mugshot.
