(SP) (Check in #2) this is a photo of a semi-permanent bumper sticker (taken with permission) in the domain of transportation. It’s main audience is Locals and speakers of Pidgin because “mo bettah” is likely not a phrase that non-Locals will be too familiar with. It is likely meant to show off the car owner’s pride of being from/having visited Molokai and desire to express Molokai’s excellence/superiority over other islands

KA : Kakimochi is a local term for fried "kaki" rice balls "mochi". In Japan it's called Arare. Here, the choice to use the local term instead of the Japanese one is due to its familiarity to most locals. Kakimochi is classic and well loved. the domain is retail/sales.

KA : Hapa is Hawaiian meaning half. Its use here is as a brand name, perhaps because the makers of the product are hapa perhaps because that's their name. Whatever the case, using a Hawaiian word for your brand makes it more appealing to locals who prefer to support local products. Domain is retail.

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.

KA : This could probably serve as either Hawaiian or pidgin, but I'm choosing pidgin. "keiki kaukau" means kid food. Which is what the box is full of, toys for children in the form of local foods. My guess is that someone thought it was adorable, because it is. Domain is retail.

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.
