Template:Infobox Hawaiian Royalty Kalaniʻōpuʻu-a-Kaiamamao was a Hawaiian monarch, the 6th Aliʻi (tribal chief) of Kohala, 4th Aliʻi of the Kona district and 2nd Aliʻi of the Kaʻū district on the island of Hawaiʻi. He was born circa 1729 as the son of Kaiʻinamao Kalani-nui-i-a-mamao, the eldest son of Keawe-i-Kekahi-aliʻi-o-kamoku II, and his wife Kamakaimoku. He died at Waioahukini, Kaʻū, in April 1782.
He was the king during the time Captain James Cook came to Hawaiʻi and went aboard his ship on November 26, 1778.[1] After Cook anchored at Kealakekua Bay in January 1779, Kalaniʻōpuʻu-a-Kaiamamao paid a ceremonial visit on January 26, 1779 and exchanged gifts including a feathered cloak and helmet, since it was during the Makahiki season. Cook returned on February 11 to repair storm damage. This time relations were not as good, resulting in Cook's death.
He was succeeded by his son, Kiwalaʻo, as king of Hawaii; and his nephew, Kamehameha I, who was given guardianship of Kū-ka-ili-moku, the god of war. His nephew would eventually overthrow his son at the battle of Mokuʻōhai and island of Hawaii was divided into three parts by his nephew Kamehameha, his younger son Keōua Kuahuʻula, and his brother Keawemauhili High Chief of Hilo.
