Lu'anu'u
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luʻanuʻu was the 6th Alii Aimoku of Kauai. He ruled as titular King or chief of Kauai. He was also known as Kahakuokane. He was born circa 1380.
He was son of Kamahano, 5th Alii Aimoku of Kauai and his wife Kaʻauʻeanui-O-Kalani. He married Kalanimoʻeʻikawaikai a chiefess of unknown descent. Nothing remarkable has been remembered in the legends about Luanu'u or his wife Kalanimoʻeʻikawaikai. His reign was equally violent as the reign of his son.[1]
His son Kukona by Kalanimoʻeʻikawaikai succeeded him as Alii Aimoku of Kauai and would bring Kauai back into the family circle of the other islands, and with an éclat and superiority which it maintained to the last of its independence.
