Hawaii Place Name/Mythology - Hikapoloa.com
$75 only.
Populated place in Hawaii with wind farms and an airport (or airstrip) nearby. Interestingly, Hikapoloa was also the name of a king featured in Hawaii story-telling.
While the story emphasizes the importance of family, it indicates that Hikapoloa himself was no fun at all. Nevertheless, King Hikapoloa did know his barbecue. And he appreciates the value of a good fishing tip. Can't be all bad, then.
The price is right, and they might make a movie about this character, you never know.

Kaumalumalu and Lanihau of Holualoa, Kona, Hawaii, have five sons and
five daughters. The boys are Mumu, Wawa, Ahewahewa, Lulukaina and
Kalino; their sisters are Mailelaulii, Mailekaluhea, Mailepakaha,
Mailehaiwale, and Kaulanapokii, who is endowed with gifts of magic. The
girls go sight-seeing along the coast of Kohala, and Mailelaulii weds the
king of Kohala, Hikapoloa. He gets them to send for the supernatural
pearl fishhook with which their brothers catch _aku_ fish, but the hook
sent proves a sham, and the angry chief determines to induce the
brothers thither on a visit and then kill them in revenge. When the five
arrive with a boatload of _aku_, the sisters are shut up in the woman's
house composing a name song for the first-born. Each brother in turn
comes up to the king's house and thrusts his head in at the door, only
to have it chopped off and the body burnt in a special kind of wood
fire, _opiko_, _aaka_, _mamane_, _pua_ and _alani_. The youngest sister,
however, is aware of the event, and the sisters determine to slay
Hikapoloa. When he comes in to see his child, Kaulanapokii sings an
incantation to the rains and seas, the _ie_ and _maile_ vines, to block
the house. Thus the chief is killed. Then Kaulanapokii sings an
incantation to the various fires burning her brothers' flesh, to tell
her where their bones are concealed. With the bones she brings her
brothers to life, and they all return to Kona, abandoning "the proud
land of Kohala and its favorite wind, the Aeloa."
