The answer to this question appears to be simple: Piye (or 'Piankhi').
King Kashta ("the Kushite") of Nubia and the XXV Dynasty and Queen Pebatma (Pebathma or Pebatjma) had two sons and possibly five daughters:
Sons:
Shabaka (Shabaka Neferkare, "Beautiful is the Soul of Re") AKA Shabaqo
Piye (Piankhi)
Daughters:
Amenirdis I - God's Wife of Amun;
Abar - mother of King Taharqa and most likely a wife of Piye.
Khensa (probably a wife of Piye);
Peksater (probably a wife of Piye);
Neferukakashta (probably a wife of Piye).
More details on Piye (Piankhi):
Horus name: Djematawy;
Nebty name: Mes-hemut;
Golden Falcon name: Sasha-qenu;
Prenomen: Usermaatre;
Nomen: Piye;
(747-716 BCE approx)
The answer may not be quite as simple as that - archaeologists and Egyptologists rarely agree on dates and familial relationships exactly. There are always discrepancies amongst the ancient Egyptian dynasties, dates and families. Many sons/daughters married in to their own families to maintain power as Egypt was forever being invaded and continuity of power was essential.
Having said all of that (and taking in to account the most reliable sources) it is most likely that the son of King Kashta and the brother of Shabaka was Piye (or 'Piankhi').
