His elder siblings are sister Kana Grace and brother Kevin (owner of Doraku Sushi restaurant).[12] The siblings have a half-sister, model and actress Devon Aoki.[13]

Aoki graduated from Newport Harbor High School in 1995, where he was a player on the varsity badminton team.[14] He later attended the University of California, Santa Barbara, graduating with two B.A. degrees: one in women's studies and the other in sociology.

During college, Aoki produced DIY records and ran underground concerts out of his Biko room in the Santa Barbara Student Housing Cooperative,[15] which was located in Isla Vista, a section of residential land adjacent to UCSB. As a concert venue, the apartment became known as The Pickle Patch.[16][17] Aoki was also involved in student activism at UCSB, being the founder of a Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist League chapter on campus.[18]

By his early 20s, Aoki had built his own record label, which he named Dim Mak – a reference to his childhood hero, Bruce Lee.[19][20][21]
