Keoni Makani is a nephew of Tito’s, around the foursomes’ age. He lives in Hawaii, is a very good student and is as good an athlete as any of the foursome. He first visits Ocean Shores to visit Tito, and originally Otto is jealous of him, but eventually becomes good friends with the whole gang. He is seen again when the gang visits Hawaii, showing them around the island of Oahu. Keoni, whose name means “the righteous one”, was named the same as his father. The English equivalent of the name “Keoni” is “John.”
In English, the part of Keoni was read by Hawaiian pro surfer Matty Liu.
"...Keoni surfs like a dolphin rides the waves..." ~ Tito in the episode "The Aloha Kid".
