Kakuta, 23, moved to Stamford Bridge from Lens in 2007 and was on loan at Rayo Vallecano last season, where he played 35 games.
The Frenchman played 16 times for the Blues, but spent time on loan at six different clubs.
In September 2009, Chelsea were barred from signing new players after being found guilty of inducing Kakuta to break his contract with Lens.
The ban was lifted by a court in February 2010 after the two clubs reached an agreement on his signing.
It is thought Sevilla have had to pay a fee for Kakuta because he is under 24.
In October 2014, failed footballer Medi Abalimba was sentenced to four years in prison after masquerading as Kakuta.
Manchester Crown Court heard Abalimba went on a £20,000 shopping spree at Selfridges, stayed at top hotels and even hired a helicopter.

City are four points above the Premier League relegation zone and they want to sign a striker in January.
Paloschi, 26, has scored eight goals in 21 league games for Chievo this season.
Starting his career at AC Milan, the Italian also played for Parma and Genoa. He joined Chievo in 2011 and has scored 42 goals in 144 Serie A appearances.
Paloschi has represented Italy at Under-21 level, scoring in their 2-1 defeat to Wales at Swansea's Liberty Stadium in 2009.
He lined up alongside the likes of Milan and former Liverpool forward Mario Balotelli in a game won by Aaron Ramsey's spectacular strike.
Paloschi could now be about to link up with compatriot Francesco Guidolin, who was appointed Swansea's head coach earlier this month.
Former Udinese manager Guidolin guided the Swans to a 2-1 win at Everton in his first game in charge, the Welsh club securing back-to-back victories for the first time this season having previously beaten Watford.
Despite the encouraging start to Guidolin's reign, Swansea are still 15th in the Premier League table, with only bottom side Aston Villa scoring fewer goals so far in this campaign.
