The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Kevin belongs to wood, since it is made at the back of the throat. In Saju, Kevin carries wood. That makes it a natural choice for charts where wood is the thinnest of the five elements. Kevin supports fire from behind: its wood sound is the traditional source of that element. If wood is already strong in a chart, Kevin ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
