Hawai‘i (Hawaiian)
KA : Ku'ia is some kind of obstacle or to encounter an obstacles. As such I'm a little confused as to why one would use it as their brand name, I can only assume that it's their name. Despite all that though, the Hawaiian will still appeal to local customers. Domain is retail. Multilingual Hawaiʻi

KA : This is a dubious use of pidgin in my opinion. Usually Shaka Shaka is used ti appeal to tourists, not locals. But the product was in a local store. Nonetheless, tourists do love anything seemingly local but not too local and this fits the bill. Domain retail. Multilingual Hawaiʻi
