Apukohai is a marine monster in the
mythology of the island of
Kauai,
Hawaii. Kawelo, a giant of enormous strength, departs for
Oahu and encounters Apukohai. After a fierce struggle, Kawelo kills Apukohai, having invoked the assistance of the owl god and the fish Ulu-makaikai (Beckwith 1970:409-411).
