Kakae was the Moʻi of Maui — king of the island of Maui. His name is sometimes given as Kakaeloiki. He is mentioned in old chants.
Kakae was a son of Chief Kaulahea I of Maui and his sister-wife, High Chiefess Kapo-Hana-Au-puni of Hilo. His brother was Kakaalaneo. He and his brother appear to have jointly ruled over the islands of Maui and Lanai.
The brother's courts were at Lahaina which at that time still preserved its ancient name of Lele. Of Kakae personally nothing is remembered. He was surnamed Kaleo-iki, and was considered as deficient in mental qualities.
Some traditions state that Luaia was his grandson, but most of the genealogies states Luaia was the grandson of Kakaʻalaneo.
His wife's name was Kapohauola, and she was the wife of Ehu, the son of Kuaiwa, on Hawaiian Pili line, and thus established the contemporaneity of these island's monarchs. Kapohauola was said to have been Kakae's maternal aunt.
Kakae's only know son was Kahekili I. His brother appeared to succeed him to the dignity and title of Moʻi.
After Kakaʻalaneo's death, Kakae's son succeeded him as Moʻi rather than Kakaʻalaneo's own children.
