Also known as Kūkāʻilimoku
In Hawaiian religion, Kū is one of the four great gods. The other three are Kanaloa, Kāne, and Lono. Some feathered god images or akua hulu manu are considered to represent Kū. Kū is worshiped under many names, including Kūkāilimoku, the "Snatcher of Land". Rituals for Kūkailimoku included human sacrifice, which was not part of the worship of other gods.
