Considering we don't describe Kaptain K. Rool as being the brother of King K. Rool despite there being an in-game source for that, I don't think we should. The "Family relationship" section at the bottom is good enough. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 16:08, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

It's true that we name articles according to English sources first (heck, the current article's title isn't correct; considering it comes from the Japanese text, it should be Koopa Ao or Kuppa Ao), but since modern sources don't mention a familial relationship between this guy and Bowser, calling him "Bowser's Brother" seems like a misleading misnomer.
