In Hawaiian mythology, Ka-moho-ali'i is a shark god and a son of Haumea and Kāne Milohai.

Ka-moho-ali'i swam in the area around Maui and Kahoolawe. When a ship was lost at sea, Ka-moho-ali'i shook his tail in front of the fleet and the kahuna would feed him "awa" (a name for kava, a narcotic drink), and Ka-moho-ali'i would guide the men home.

Alternative: Kalahiki (Kahoolawe)
