Kahakuhaʻakoi Wahinepio (died 1826) was a Hawaiian chiefess and member of the royal family during the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Wahinepio means captive women in Hawaiian.[1]: 5  Sometimes she is called Wahineopiʻo, or an extra ʻokina is added, calling her Kahakuhaʻakoʻi. She was also called Kamoʻonohu.[2]: 53  She was considered Kamehameha I's third favorite wife[1]: 11  and served as female Governor of Maui, an act unheard of at the time in the western world, but common in Hawaiian history.
