B. Of Oahu (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 392).
C. Young man during civil war on Hawaii between Lonoikamakahiki and Kanaloakuaana.

He assisted Kawelo to conquer his cousin to become high chief on Kauai. He left Oahu for Maui, where his two sisters lived (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 343). Gray-haired, he returned to Hawaii when learning that the love of his youth, Queen Kealiiokalani was deathly ill. In their joyous reunion, Iwikauikaua was stunned when she promised her daughter high chief Keakamahana to him. Said she; "In Keakamahana I will be your wife!" He left his first mate on Oahu (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 347-349). He returned to Hawaii and joined with high chiefess Keakamahana (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 127).
