Biography[]
Early Life[]
Kekoa Pa'a was born in Oahu, Hawaii on December 28, 1997, to Lanaki & Lopeka Pa'a. While Kekoa & his family weren't of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they were friends with the Mormon natives of their home island, knowing that they were descendants of Corianton (also known as Hawaii-loa). When Kekoa was four years old, his father Lanaki, whom he was very close to, died of pneumonia. Since then, he & his older sister Kona were raised by their mother.
Kekoa got his first job at the Kūkala Kopa restaurant as a part-time kitchen assistant at age 18. Around that time, he started college, studying food science, but quit partway through the course. While working at the Kūkala Kopa, he was promoted to sous chef.
Receiving his Powers[]
Sometime during his life, Kekoa was struggling with life & work, & so he went into a state of isolation to clear things up. One day, Kekoa visited Kea'iwa Heiau on his home island. While there, Kekoa was reading a Book of Mormon a friend of his loaned to, & he was able to learn about his ancestors--including Corianton.
At that moment, Kekoa decided to pray in hopes that he may gain the strength of his ancestors (or aumakua). As a result, Kekoa was given mystical tattoos that seemed to resemble ancient Polynesian weapons. Believing this to be his answer from God, Kekoa made a vow that he fight for good & please his ancestors.
