The 43-year-old DJ has helped to create a host of exciting items, including a countertop arcade cabinet and a clothing line, as well as a remix of the theme song for 'Street Fighter' icon Ryu.
Speaking about the partnership, Aoki told The Verge: "I always picked him when I was a kid when I obsessively played 'Street Fighter II'. He represents the strong, iconic, Japanese warrior hero that I always aspired to become."
Aoki used to go to a local pizzeria every day after school to play the video game, and his love for the iconic franchise is evident in the products.
Meanwhile, it was recently confirmed that the Capcom Cup has been cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
A statement explained: "Due to the rising cases of COVID-19 worldwide we have unfortunately made the decision to cancel Capcom Cup and the Street Fighter League World Championship scheduled for February 19th through February 21st.
"While we strongly believe that we could have executed a great event with limited risk to players, staff and crew, we have reevaluated as the situation has evolved and the state of this global pandemic has heightened."
