Kihikihi's best friend and greatest teacher is the ocean. Kihikihi is a He’e Nalu (surfer) boy. Kihikihi is named after the Hawaiian Morish Idol reef fish.

When the surf is up, Kihikihi can’t wait to get into the ocean. His heart dances with Hopupu (excitement) as he eagerly anticipates the challenges of the great waves.

Kihikihi loves the Pacific Ocean and the surf has been his greatest teacher, evoking deep respect and humbleness within him. He knows that every wave along with the wind presents a challenge of going with its flow. Kihikihi watches the waves, feels them inside, and connects to their Mana (spiritual energy).

Like the wind, he flies along the sea on his Olo (surfboard), riding the waves with focus and balance, Kihikihi finds the perfect attitude between tension and flexibility and rides the great wave home. It is the very best feeling in the world.

Kihikihi's Aumakua (guardian spirit) is the Hawaiian Morish Idol reef fish. Kihikihi always feels safe when he surfs because he knows that his Aumakua is watching over him.

Kihikihi’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed his blue shorts with the Hawaiian Morish Idol reef fish matching the design on his surfboard. She crocheted yellow shoes and gave Kihikihi a head band to keep his hair out of his eyes while he surfs. Last as a special protection, Tutu draped a necklace with a shell and crystal pendant around his neck.

All these things were Tutu’s sacred gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo'opuna Kane (grandson).

Kihikihi is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of doll skin and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Kihikihi has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Kihikihi is not a dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto him.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft dry toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Don’t brush the hair!
