One of the most common stories in Hawaiian folklore is about Lono, who was a fertility and music god who came to Earth to marry Laka. In traditional planting and agricultural traditions, he was regarded as a food and rain god. He was one of the four gods that existed before the world was made, alongside Kane, Kanaloa, and Kane's twin brother. During the annual festival of the Makahiki, which was held from October through February, war and unnecessary work were kapu (forbidden).

The winter storms that frequently hit the islands of Hawaii are often associated with Lono. In terms of Hawaiian weather, the storms that bring rain to certain areas are referred to as Lono-makua, which literally means "Lono the Provider." During the various ceremonies held during the Makahiki, the luakini, which was a temple dedicated to Ku, was dedicated to the strict kapus.

Following the separation of Papa and Rangi, Lono used a net to catch the moon and sun and send them into orbit. When it came to creating humans, he gave his brother Ku the fertile soil to nourish their bodies. Kane then used his brother's body to breathe life into the humans.

Lono loved to surf and rainbow, which is how he met Kaikilani. Their relationship was intense, and he would frequently be jealous of her. He also believed that she was unfaithful once, so he would often strike her down using his divine powers.
