- This article is about the non-playable character in Mario Tennis and Mario Tennis: Power Tour. For the person mentioned in the Club Mario episode accompanying "The Koopas are Coming! The Koopas are Coming!", see List of implied people § Kevin.
Kevin is a non-playable character in Mario Tennis and Mario Tennis: Power Tour. In the Game Boy Color game, he is the highest-ranking player at the Academy, although that changes once Alex or 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.

Trivia
- Although Kevin is a non-playable character in both games of appearance, the Japanese version of 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.
