Kanaloa kahoolawensis was created in 1994.

Kanaloa manoa was created in 1970.

Kanaloa is symbolized by the squid or by the octopus, and is typically associated with Kāne. Kāne and Kanaloa are portrayed as complementary powers. For example: Kāne was called upon during the building of a canoe, Kanaloa during the sailing of it; Kāne governed the northern edge of the ecliptic, Kanaloa the southern; Kanaloa points to hidden springs, and Kāne then taps them out. In this way, they represent a divine duality of wild and taming forces. Kanaloa is also considered to be the god of the Underworld and a teacher of magic.

He is similar to Kane and Kanaloa in Hawaiian culture.

The Hawaiian original religion was polytheistic, and they believed in the existence of many gods. They had a belief in four main gods that include, Kane, Lono, Ku and Kanaloa. They also believed in other gods like the gods that watched over their families.
