Kahekili II, full name Kahekilinuiʻahumanu, (c. 1737–1794) was an ali'i (Moʻi) of Maui. His name was short for Kāne-Hekili after the Hawaiian god of thunder. Because Kāne-Hekili was believed to be black on one side, Kahekili tattooed one side of his body from head to foot. [1] He was called Titeeree, King of Mowee by European explorers.

Family

He was born about 1710–1737 in Hāliʻimaile on the island of Maui. His father was Kekaulike Kalani-nui-Kui-Hono-i-Kamoku the 23rd Moʻi of Maui. His mother was Kekuaipoiwa-nui Kalani-kauhihiwakama Wanakapu ( Kekuiapoiwa I, half-sister of Kekaulike). He had at least two wives, and three or four sons and two daughters.[ citation needed]

His sister was Kalola.

There is a theory that he was the biological father of Kamehameha I, as Kamehameha I was told this and provided with proof of the same. [2]
