"Me, King Kahuka, beat you like tribal drum…"
―King Kahuka in LEGO Racers

King Kahuka,[1][2] known outside North America as Chief Quextil,[3] is an Islanders minifigure introduced in 1994.

Background[]

King Kahuka is the leader and king of the Islanders. His two sons are Thu and Kothu, who tend to him at his throne.

Bricks 'n' Pieces establishes that he has the same birthday as Captain Roger.[4] By extension, he also shares his birthday with Governor Broadside according to Captain Roger's Birthday.

LEGO Racers[]

King Kahuka is the hosting champion of Circuit 2 in LEGO Racers. In the game's intro FMV cutscene, he uses a Turbo power-up at Desert Adventure Dragway but ends up driving into a pile of sand, costing him his lead. In the Circuit 2 intro cutscene, he boasts that he will beat the player like a tribal drum and do a victory dance.

King Kahuka is arguably the easiest boss, as he uses only very defensive tactics throughout each race and prioritizes the Shield over all other power ups. However, this makes it difficult to slow him down with red or yellow bricks. By winning Circuit 2, the player will be rewarded with King Kahuka's car set and Islanders minifigure parts.

If the player waits long enough in the menu of LEGO Racers, there will be a demo race where King Kahuka takes the place of the player.

King Kahuka also appears in the queue line of Rocket Racers.

LEGO Battles[]

King Kahuka appears in 4850307 LEGO Battles in the Pirates story campaigns. He allies with Captain Brickbeard and his pirates as they protect each other from Governor Broadside's Imperial Soldiers and the Red Ninja Master's Ninjas. In the Pirates Act 2 cutscene, King Kahuka can be seen in the Islander village. In the level "Heads Up", King Kahuka must be rescued from the Imperials. In the Imperial Act 2 cutscene, two Ninjas reenact King Kahuka's capture of the Ninja Master.

As the Hero unit of the Islanders, King Kahuka has 5 strength, 1000 life, 500 bricks, and 1 speed. His Magic abilities are Area Speed Boost, Area Damage Boost, Jungle Growth, and Coconut Swarm.

A wise and just ruler of a tiny island kingdom, King Kahuka loves to peel out on the beach in his souped-up jungle hot rod.

Rumor has it that the King has filled the caves throughout his realm with power-ups to give him the edge over his racing competitors.

  • Although King Kahuka does not appear in LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge, concept art of Kahuka from LEGO Racers is used to represent Chief Legog in the game's design document.[5] However, Achu fills Chief Legog's role in the released game, and is internally referred to as CHIEF LEGOG by the Game Boy Advance version.[6] The Adventurers Island Character Document for LEGO Island 3 represents both Chief Legog and Achu with Achu's minifigure.[7]
  • In DK Minifigure Ultimate Sticker Collection, his name was misspelled "King Kuahka" instead of "Kahuka".
  • A maskless version of King Kahuka is depicted on 4229619 Memo Pad Minifig - (K) Islander.
