Template:Short description Template:Distinguish In Hawaiian mythology, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is the brother of Kāmohoaliʻi, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (among others) by {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}.

He is a figure most prominently in the story of {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}'s journey along the island chain to {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and may be seen as a terrestrial counterpart to his brother, the shark-god Kāmohoaliʻi.<ref> Pele and Hiiaka: A Myth From Hawaii.

The word {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} alone means "man", and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is one of the four major Hawaiian deities along with {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}. As a result, {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} is occasionally confused with the latter.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Self-published source</ref>Template:Self-published inline
