Elepuʻukahonua (Olepuʻukahonua) was a High Chief of the island of Oahu in ancient Hawaii. He ruled over Oʻahu in ancient times and is mentioned in chants and legends.[1]
His father was Chief Kumuhonua of Oʻahu, son of Chief Mulielealiʻi of the Maweke line; Maweke was a wizard from Tahiti.[2] His mother's name is Chiefess Hainakolo.
After Kumuhonua died, Elepuʻukahonua succeeded him as a monarch of Oʻahu. It seems that this happened because he was the eldest son of his father, since he had three brothers; Molohaia, Kahakuokane and Kukawaieakane.
At some point, Chief Elepuʻukahonua married a woman named Hikilena, whose parents are not known today. She had a son, Kahokupohakano,[3] who fathered with his spouse Kaumana II a son, Nawele, who later became a ruler of Oʻahu.
