Kamaiʻole is a chief mentioned in Hawaiian chants and legends.
He was Aliʻi Nui ("king") by usurpation.
[1] David Malo mentions that Kamaiʻole seized the kingdom of Kanipahu of Hawaii (the Big Island), who fled to the island of Molokai.
[2] They asked priest Paʻao how to kill the chief.
He was later killed by Kalapana of Hawaiʻi, who then succeeded him on the throne.
