Kapahu Alana (Native San Carlos Islander: ᑲᐸᐓ ᐚᐘᓇ; c. 1423 – c. late-October 1441), commonly known by his regnal name Kapahu I, was the Alaka'i o ka Manuahi, meaning "Leader of the Freed," of the self-proclaimed nation of Lahui Kuokoa from 2 March 1440 until his disappearance in late-October 1441. He was born as a slave on the Pensacola Plantation in Esclaveta, San Carlos Islands. In 1439, he and thirty other slaves escaped the plantation and lead the Great Revolt of Esclaveta from 1440 to 1441. He disappeared at sea while traveling north to Pescante to rally a revolt there.
