Born at Kaluanui in Ko\u02bbolauloa, O\u02bbahu.\u00a0 He is the son of Hina and Kahiki\u02bbula and the grandson of Kamaunuaniho. Kamapua\u02bba\u2019s body forms include the pig, a handsome young man, cloud banks over a summit, the humuhumunukunukuapua\u02bba, and plants like kukui, \u02bb\u0101ma\u02bbuma\u02bbu, hala \u02bbuhaloa, and \u02bbolomea. He defeats Chief \u02bbOlopana on O\u02bbahu, travels to Kahiki and marries Kekaiha\u02bbak\u016bloulaniokahiki, and later battles Pelehonuamea, Pele at K\u012blauea, quenching her fires with torrential rain before agreeing to a truce.\u00a0 With Pele, Kamapua\u02bba is noted to have had a son named \u02bb\u014cpeluho\u02bbolili or \u02bb\u014cpelunuikauha\u02bbalilo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u02bb\u014clelo kuhikuhi<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E koho i k\u0113ia hua\u02bb\u014dlelo no n\u0101 kumuwaiwai e pili ana i\u0101 Kamapua\u02bba, ke kupua.
