Haho was a son of Paumakua of Maui and High Chiefess Manokalililani, who was a daughter of Chiefess Hoʻohokukalani II (named after the goddess Hoʻohokukalani) and sister of Paumakua.[6] He married High Chiefess Kauilaʻanapa (also called Kauilaianapu in chants). Their son was Palena of Maui and his daughter-in-law was Hikawai-Nui, who was a daughter of Kauilaʻanapa and her other husband, Limaloa-Lialea.[7] Haho and his son are mentioned in chant Kumulipo.[8]
