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.
His title was Aliʻi 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 Hawaiʻi. The mother of Kukohou was Hinamaileliʻi.
He is also mentioned by David Malo, who presented a family tree of Hawaiian chiefs where Pili is a great-grandfather of Kukohou.
His wife was Chiefess Hinakeʻuki and their famous grandson was Chief Kanipahu.
Kukohou's son was Kaniuhu, also called Kaniuhi. Malo said that he never heard anything about him. Kaniuhu was Alii Aimoku after his father (ca. 1185-1215).
