## Biography

### Early Life

Kai Kamealoha was born either on January 31 or February 1, 2004, at 10:08 P.M. to Clara Hannon and Benny Kamealoha in Honolulu, Hawaii where he was born and raised. Right before he was born his father Benny Kameāloha went surfing that day then his mother Clara Hannon got mad at him for surfing when her water just broke.

### Season One

#### Passion for farming

When Kai's SAT's come around, he asks his parents if he is able to skip them, citing that he does not feel they are necessary and will not use them in later life. Benny rebukes him, however, citing that even he uses his business degree to run the Shave Ice truck, but Kai tells him that he wouldn't need the degree.

Despite his parent's refusal, Kai skips the SAT's anyway in order to attend a volunteering position farming in a nearby village. When his parents find out, they are furious but understanding of his dedication to the cause. Nonetheless, after the owner of the farm explains that he has a degree, Kai agrees to return to school and complete the SAT's.

#### Relationship with Steph

Whilst Steph is not afraid to admit her feelings for Kai, and tells Lahela herself that she has feelings for him, Kai is reluctant to tell Steph that he has feelings for her. After an issue with Walter's birthday cake, Kai kisses Steph to stop her from freaking out. Later, he tells her that this was to stop her from freaking out, but hides the fact that he wanted to kiss her all along.

Later, he tries to tell Steph about his feelings at dinner, but again hides these feelings and simply talks with her like they are friends. Despite his feelings, he hides these from both Steph and those around him.

### Season Two

After the kiss with Steph, Kai avoided talking about the subject during the summer, which made the former go crazy, and for her to finally realize that she did not need him anymore. After deciding this, Kai realizes his feelings for her, and how he has been hiding them for a long time, due to Steph being Lahela's BFF. He tells his sister Lahela about how he feels, and Lahela gives him her blessing to date the BFF.

Before the Jellyfish Jam, Kai tried to ask her to the dance, but kept failing miserably. When he finally asked though, she told him that she was going with Spyder, since he asked her first. Dejected, Kai walked away, but decided to wow her with a dance routine. It took some work, but it paid off, when he impressed Steph enough to earn their second kiss.
