'''Kanipahu''' was an [[ancient Hawaii]]an chief. He was of the [[Pili line]].
Kanipahu was a son of ''Aliʻi'' [[Kaniuhu]]<ref>Peleioholani, Solomon Lehuanui Kalaniomaiheuila (1906). ''Genealogy of the Robinson family, and ancient legends and chants of Hawaii'', [[Honolulu]] Bulletin Publishing Company.</ref> and [[Hiliamakani]].
After Kanipahu lived on [[Molokai|Molokaʻi]] and it was discovered that he was a chief, he was taken (as husband) by [[Hualani]], the [[Aliʻi nui of Molokai|ruling chiefess]] of Molokaʻi
.<ref>Catherine C. Summers, "Molokai: A Site Survey," ''Pacific Anthropological Records'', No. 14, (Honolulu, HI: Department of Anthropology, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, 1971).</ref> One of the neverforgotten fact of Kanipahuʻs descendants was this marriage. Hualani was the great-granddaughter of [[Nuakea]], who was the granddaughter of [[Maweke]]. Beside Hualani, of Molakaʻi and Oʻahu descent above mentioned, he also married his half-aunt, [[Alaʻikauakoko]], who at one time, whether previously or subsequently cannot now be ascertained, was the wife of [[Lakona of Oahu]]. With one of them he fathered two sons: [[Kanaloa]]—father of [[Kalapana of Hawaiʻi]]—and [[Kalahumoku I]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200806132449/https://kekoolani.org/Pages/Kekoolani%20Genealogy%20Database%20(PAF)/pafg09.htm#3898 Parents of Kalahumoku.] ″Kanipahu (Chief of Hawaii Island). He married Hualani (Hulani II) (Molokai Chiefess)."</ref> ancestor of Akahiʻakuleʻana.
[[David Malo]] said Alaʻikauakoko was the mother of Kalapana, making Kalapana Kanipahu's son instead of grandson. Malo skips this generation, showing Kalapana as the son of Kanipahu.<ref>[[David Malo]]. ''Hawaiian Antiquities''.</ref>
