Loe was a semi-mythical chief in ancient Hawaii and he ruled as the 9th known King of Maui (Moʻi). He was the sovereign king or chief of the island of Maui, mentioned in old chants, and ancestor of Kalahumoku II.

Family

Loe was a son of Kamaloohua, grandson of Kuhimana, great-grandson of Luakoa, great-great grandson of Paukei. He followed his father as chief of Maui.

No legends remember Loe. Although war did not occur between Maui and any of the other islands during his reign, there was a disturbance in his father's reign.

He married a woman named Waohaʻakuna, who is mentioned by Samuel Kamakau. She bore him a son named Kahokuohua, who was a King of Molokaʻi island.

Loe is considered to be the great progenitor of the Maui chiefdom.
