Kapelakapuokakae ʻAikanaka Kalailua, Kepoʻokalani was a High Chief during the founding of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
His notable half-brothers (with different mothers) were Hoʻolulu and Ulumāheihei Hoapili who both became close advisors to Kamehameha and were trusted to aid in his burial.
[1] In the Hawaiian language, ke po'o ka lani means "the royal leader".
[9] Kamanawa's son Caesar Kapaʻakea (1815–1866) would marry ʻAikanaka's daughter Analea Keohokālole.
This kind of family background was a desirable way to enhance the royal bloodlines at the time, but was attacked by the conservative missionaries later in the 19th century as incest.
