Kalanikukuma

Kalanikukuma was the 13th Alii Aimoku of Kauai. He ruled as titular King or chief of Kauai. He was born around 1555.

Kalanikukuma was son of Kahakumakapaweo, 12th Alii Aimoku of Kauai and Kahakukuka'ena. He followed his father Kahakumakapaweo as King of Kauai. No legend attaches to his name.

Kalanikukuma married Kapoleikauila and begot Kahakumakalina. It was universally conceded that Kapoleikauila, the wife of Kalanikukuma, was the lineal descendant of Haulanuiaiakea of the original Maweke-Kumuhonua dynasty of Oahu. It probably was so, for it is undeniable that that union increased immensely the kapu and aristocratic rank of Kalanikukuma's two sons, Kahakumakalina and Ilihewalani, sometimes Ilihiwalani or on some genealogies Ilimealani.
