Luanuu

Luanuu was the sixth 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, fifth Alii Aimoku of Kauai and his wife Kaaueanui-O-Kalani. He married a chiefess of unknown descent, named Kalanimoeikawaikai, but she could hardly have been the same figure who was the wife of Nawele, King of Oahu who was five generations in descent from Maweke line, the comtemporary of the Pauamakua line from which Luanuu is the eighth in descent.

Nothing remarkable has been remembered in the legends AbOUT Luanu'u or his wife Kalanimoeikawaikai. His reign was equally violent as the reign of his son.

His son Kukona by Kalanimoeikawaikai 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.
