Kukohou (or Kukohoa) was High Chief of the Island of Hawaiʻi in ancient Hawaii. His title was Aliʻi Nui[1] — "Chief of the island". His famous descendant was King Kamehameha I.
A member of the Pili line, Kukohou was son of Loʻe and his wife, Hinamaileliʻi, and he succeeded his great-grandfather Pilikaʻaiea. Wife of Kukohou was his half-sister Hineuki[2] (Hina-keʻuki). Their son was named Kaniuhu, and he ruled after Kukohouʻs death.[3]
