In the Hawaiian language, kukini means "runner, swift messenger, as employed by old chiefs, with a premium on their speed." In ancient Hawaii, Kukini were an elite class of men selected to undergo strenuous physical and mental training to become swift foot runners. Such runners were used in battles, as messengers, spies, and as athletes in foot racing in the Makahiki games.
