In Hawaiian mythology, Kukohou (or Kukohoa) was the High Chief of Hawaii island in ancient Hawaii. He was either a character of legends and chants or semi-mythical ruler.〔(Kukohou )〕 His title was ''Alii Aimoku'' - "King of the Island". == Family == According to Abraham Fornander, Kukohou was maybe a son of the king Pilikaaiea, the first known Hawaiian Chief, a member of the Pili line from Tahiti. Fornander also mentions that wife of Kukohou was the daughter of some southern chief who accompanied Pili to Hawaii.〔Abraham Fornander, ''An Account of the Polynesian Race: Its Origin and Migrations'', Rutland, VT: Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1969〕 The mother of Kukohou was Hinamailelii. He is also mentioned by David Malo, who presented a family tree of Hawaiian chiefs where Pili is a great-grandfather of Kukohou.〔David Malo, ''Hawaiian Antiquities'', Honolulu: Bishop Museum Press, 1951.〕 His wife was Chiefess Hinakeuki and their famous grandson was Chief Kanipahu.〔(Hinakeuki )〕 Kukohou's son was Kaniuhu, also called Kaniuhi. Malo said that he never heard anything about him.〔"Of traditions regarding Lanakawai, Laau, Pili, Koa, Ole, Kukohou, Kaniuhi, I have heard none."〕 Kaniuhu was ''Alii Aimoku'' after his father (ca. 1185-1215).〔(Royal family of Hawaii by Christopher Buyers )〕 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「Kukohou」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
