Kalapana of Hawaiʻi

Kalapana, also called Kalapanakuʻioʻiomoa, was a Hawaiian high chief of the island of Hawaiʻi. Tradition makes him possibly the son of Prince Kanaloa and his sister Makoʻani, children of Chief Kanipahu and Hualani of Molokai.

Kalapana succeeded the chief Kamaiole after Kamaiole was murdered and ruled the island until about 1285. By his wife, the chiefess Malamaʻihanaʻae, he fathered Kahaʻimaoeleʻa, who followed him as high chief and first made Waipiʻo Valley a royal residence.
