Loe Chief of Maui
Father	Kamaloohua
Mother	Kapu of Maui
Wife	Wahaʻakuna
Issue	Kahokuohua

Loe (Hawaiian: Loe o Maui) was a High Chief in ancient Hawaii. Loe was the sovereign chief of the island of Maui, mentioned in old chants, and ancestor of Kalahumoku II.^[1]

Life

Loe was a son of the Chief Kamaloohua by his consort, Kapu of Maui, and thus a grandson of Kuhimana. He followed his father as chief of Maui.

Although war did not occur between Maui and any of the other islands during his reign, there was a disturbance in his father's reign.

He married a woman named Wahaʻakuna,^{[2] [3]} who is mentioned by Samuel Kamakau. They had a son named Kahokuohua, who was a King of Molokaʻi island.

Loe is considered to be the great progenitor of the Maui chiefdom. His successor was his grandson, Kaulahea I.
