Editing Kaulu (section)

== Family ==
His parents were Kukaohialaka and Hinauluohia and he was born on [[Oahu]] island. Kaulu was the youngest of three siblings, his older brother's were named Kaeha and Kamano.  When Kaulu was still a baby in his mother's womb, his older brother Kamano threatened to kill him, but then Kaulu’s other brother, Kaeha, said he would protect Kaulu.  Because of the danger of Kamano, Kaulu waited for five years in his mother's womb, and he shapeshifted into a piece of rope to be born.{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}

Kaulu was then born as a piece of rope, and so, Kamano did not kill him, and Kaeha put the rope on a shelf and protected it until Kaulu turned back into [[humanoid]] form. Although it is unclear just what exactly Kaulu’s parents were, as they might have been either humans or gods or perhaps a sort of humanoid race of earthly gods, Kaulu himself is definitely a deity and is often thought of as a trickster god. Kaulu grew up and was very strong and powerful, and he protected Kaeha and saved him from many attacks by other gods and monsters. Kaulu's wife was called Lanikai and she never bore any children.<ref>''Hawaiian Mythology'' by [[Martha Warren Beckwith]]</ref>
