Raymond Kaleoalohapoinaʻoleohelemanu[a] Kāne[1] (/ˈkɑːneɪ/, Hawaiian: [ˈkaːne]; October 2, 1925 – February 27, 2008),[2] was one of Hawaii's acknowledged masters of the slack-key guitar.

Born in Koloa, Kauaʻi, he grew up in Nanakuli on Oʻahu's Waiʻanae Coast where his stepfather worked as a fisherman.

He played in a number of ki ho'alu tunings always plucking or brushing the strings with only the thumb and index finger of his right hand.

He also played hammer-ons and pull-offs in a unique way; his finger moving up and out, instead of down and in, after striking a string.

He was a recipient of a 1987 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
