He is often seen in stories traveling alongside the god Ա. In these stories, they travel all over within the Hawaiian archipelago and are often seeking out water sources. They drink ʻawa together, and are associated with it.The moon phases Kāloakūkahi, Kāloakūlua, and Kāloakūkolu are so called for this god.
