HISTORY
Kao Keliʻi lived on the island of Ni‘ihau, Hawaiʻi Forbidden Island. Despite living on an island of 84 people, the Governor of Hawaiʻi appointed Kao to the House of Representatives to fill a vacant seat. Kao took her son Kauka with her. The two moved to Deanwood, and young Kauka found life in the city of 64,000 people gave him lots of anonymity that he never had in Ni‘ihau. He began running with the wrong crowd and used his mother’s name and position to avoid unpleasant entanglements with the local authorities. Kauka Keliʻi took on the street name Kauka Tiki as he moved into low-level drug trafficking. Eventually, Kauka Tiki used his ill-gotten gains to open “Kanaka Ino Loa” a nightclub catering to the underworld. It is a tiki-themed bar that requires the guest to wear a tiki mask to give the customers some anonymity from one another. Kanaka Ino Loa became a hot spot for the who’s who of the supervillain set. With tight security and private meeting rooms, Kauka Tiki was able to charge a premium for everything, becoming the most expensive and exclusive club in DC. Making Kauka Tiki a very wealthy man. While his friends call him Kauka Tiki, everyone else knows him as the Tiki Man.
