Keaweikekahialliokamoku (King of Hawaii Island) is not the son of Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu. The correct father of King Keawe is Kanalohanauikawela (Keawehanauikawalu).
Keakealaniwahine is the mother of Keaweikekahialliokamou. The father is disputed as follows:
FATHER#1: Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu
FATHER#2: Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela)
The correct father is Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), according to SLK Peleioholani, who was, in his lifetime, the leader (High Chief) of the senior lineage of Keawe through his great grandfather Keawemauhili, the son of Kalaninuiammamao.
Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu may have looked to some people like a variation of the name correct name Keawehanauikawalu (Kanalohanauikawela), which could have lead to the misunderstanding. To understand the lineage and the reasons for this frequent mistake, it is useful to review the story of his great grandmother from Kauai, the High Chiefess, Kawaihalaua, a sacred kapu chiefess.

KAWAIHALAU'S LEGACY: HER CHILDREN
by DEAN KEKOOLANI
based on the genealogies of his great-great grandfather SLK Peleioholani
______________________________________________________________
FROM SLK PELEIOHOLANI:
"Akahiilikapu (w) married Kahakumakalina (k); born were Kawaihalaniwailuau** and Keliiohiohi (k) for whom the prostrating kapu of Pihenaakalani for these chiefs this chiefly kapus of Pihenaakalani."
Kawaihalau was from Kauai, the daughter of the Ruling Chief (King) of Kauai. When she married the Keawe-a-Umi, son of Umi, grandson of Liloa, Ruling Chief (King) of Hawaii Island, Kawaihalau brought with her one of the most revered and sought after kapus in the Hawaiian islands: the Pihenaakalani or "prostrating kapu". This kapu originated on Kauai and was one of oldest in the Hawaiian Islands and very was recognized by all chiefs throughout the islands. Before Kawaihalau brought the kapu to the Big Island, It belonged exclusively to the Kauai chiefs and was hereditary. This great kapu It compelled all those present to lay face down in the presence of the Pihenaakalani, no matter their rank or station. Ruling Chiefs (Kings) were compelled to prostrate before lesser chiefs who possessed the Pihenaakalani kapu.
There were other, more extreme and presumably impressive (even shocking) kapus (such as the "wela" or burning kapu) held by other chiefs around the Hawaiian Islands. But the Pihenaakalani was prized above most others for the great show of respect and honor it produced immediately under all circumstances. Further, there was great utility in being able to force people to the ground with one's mere presence (there is the story of a chief with the Pihenaakalani who was able to stop a military battle by simply arriving at it and walking on to the field, all the combatants had to cease movement and drop with face to the ground). This was a highly sought after and coveted kapu around the islands.
The children of Kawaihalau were chiefs of Hawaii through there father(s):
FATHER: Keawe-a-Umi, Ruling Chief (King) of Hawaii Island (Son of Umi, Grandson of Liloa)
CHILDREN: Kanaloaakuaana (k.), Kanaloakuakawiea (k.), Kanaloakapulehu
FATHER: Laeanuikaumanamana (Laea-Nui-Kaumanamana)
CHILDREN: Kaikilanimaipanio (w.), Kauluonana (k.)
These offspring passed the Pihenaakalani to the kings and queens of Hawaii as follows:
King Lonoikamakahiki and his wife Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna of Hawaii Island had no children of their own together. But each took these children of Kawaihalau as secondary spouses to produce additional offspring who possessed the Pihenaakalani.
King Lonoikamakahiki took Kaikilanimaipanio (daughter of Kawaihalau) as a wife and they produced Kanaloahanauikawela, who became the father of Keaweikekahialliomoku (King of Hawaii).
Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna took all three male children of Kawaihalau as husbands and produced the following chiefs:
From Kanaloakuaana - Keakealanikane (Mo'i, Ruler of Hawai'i)
From Kanaloakapulehu - Kalani-o-Umi (w.) wife of Kauluonana, Kawaihalau's son from Laeanuikaumanamana
From Kanaloakuakawiea - Kealiiokalani (w.) Wife and half-sister of Keakealanikane
NOTE: Confusion arises in many genealogies concerning the correct paternal line of Keaweikekahialiiomoki (King of Hawaii) because of the similarities between the names "Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna" and "Kaikilanimaipanio". Also there is more confusion cause by the similarities betwee the names "Kanaloakapulehu" and Kanaloakuakawiea (who is also called "Kanaloa-i-Kaiwilena Kapulehu" in some genealogies. This similarity in names is consistent with naming pratices among chiefs of Hawaii. There are often several chiefs with the same name, all related by blood sonehow, living in the same period.
Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna's lineage is a direct line of Hawaii chiefs, with some rare infusions from Oahu and Maui, but with little or no blood from Kauai.
The bloodline of the Kauai chiefs recognized as among the most distinguished, coming as it did from the ancient line of Northern chiefs (Kauai and Oahu) whose royal genealogies reached farther back in time and with greater accuracy than Hawaii and Maui. The blending of Kauai and the BIg Island through Queen Kaikilaninuialiiwahineopuna, King Lonoikamakahiki, King Keawe-a-Umi and Kawaihalaua was a major advance in prestige and honor for the Big Island chiefs and royal line.

Keaweikekahialiiokamoku (k)/ King of Hawaii married Hoakalani (w); born were five children. Kumukoa (k) was one of the children. Kumukoa (k) married Kahawalu (w), mother of Kauhiaimokuakama (k); born was Kaikilani III (w).

Notes for UNNAMED (Spouse 3)
Keawenui-a-Umi seized power as Ruler of Hawai'i Island when his brother Kealiiokaloa died. The rightful heir Kukailani (son of Kealiiokaloa) was still a child. Keawenui-a-Umi eventually killed Kukailani, the legitimate king, and Kukailani's eldest son Prince Makakaualii. The six existing district chiefs of Hawaii (the Alii-ai-moku of Hilo, Hamakua, Puna, Ka'u, Kohala, and Kona) all rebelled and were defeated. Keawenui's reign marked the replacement of all these chiefly families with new family lines, related to Keawenui-a-Umi. Therefore, most if not all the chiefs of Hawaii, can usually trace their lineage back to the family of Umi, since this replacement of all the district chiefs during the reign of Keawenui-a-Umi re-set the lineages.
Keawenui-a-Umi ruled the BIg Island as conqueror king, under the waiting eye of Kukailani's survviving daughter Kaikilani-Nui-Alii-Wahine-o-Puna, who later herself ruled the island. She, in turn, ended up marrying Keawenui's three sons by Kawaihalau (Koihalauwailaua) the sacred chiefess of Kauai. These sons were Kanaloakuaana, Kanaloakuakawiea and Kanaloakapulehu. She had issue by them.
