Kumuhonua was 1st Alii Aimoku of Oahu. During his reign Oahu was divided among the sons of Maweke, a legendary figure thought to have colonized the northern islands of Oahu, Kauai and Niihau. He was the grandson of Maweke and son of Mulielealii.

His siblings were Olopana and Moikeha and Hainakolo. His first cousins were Laakona, High Chief of Ewa; Nuakea, Queen Consort of Molokai; Moi, kaula (prophet) of Molokai; and Hinakaimauliawa, High Chiefess of Koolau. Kumuhonua seems to have remained in possession of the patrimonial estates on Oahu, and possibly of the nominal sovereignty of the island of Oahu and possibly of the nominal sovereignty of the island. He had four sons, Molohaia, Kahakuokane, Kukawaieakane, and Elepuukahonua. The genealogies of none of these has been preserved except the last, which descends to the time of Haka, a noted Ewa chief who lived at Lihua, and was the last Oahu sovereign of the Kumuhonua branch, having been succeeded in the sovereignty by Mailikukahi of the Moikeha branch.
