Hoolulu (1794–1844) was a member of the nobility during the formation of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He was a trusted advisor to King Kamehameha I, known as "Kamehameha the Great". He was one of a select few to know the secret resting place of Kamehameha, and his descendants continue the tradition of guarding royal burials. A major cultural site in Hilo, Hawaii is named for him. ==Life== He was born around 1794; his mother was Kahikoloa and his father was one of the "Royal Twins" who supported Kamehameha in his military battles, Kameeiamoku. He became known as ''ho'o lulu'' which means "to be calm", as a ship in a protected harbor, in the Hawaiian language. When Kamehameha died in 1819, his last wishes were to have his remains hidden in a secret place so they would not be defiled by the foreign visitors who were already looting other burial sites. Hoolulu and his half-brother Ulumāheihei Hoapili were the only two trusted with this honor.〔 He is one of the principal chiefs who met Louis de Freycinet on his 1819 visit. Hoʻolulu died around 1844.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work= Kanaka Genealogy web site )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hoolulu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
