American actor Kekoa Scott Kekumano rose to fame after starring as longstanding character Nahele Huikala in the renowned CBS series Hawaii Five-0. He is also known for appearing in the blockbuster action adventure film Aquaman, in which he played Young Arthur Curry, the younger version of the lead character played by Jason Momoa.

Kekumano was born and grew up in Mililani, Hawaii, and has been an avid surfer and a lover of the outdoors for most of his life. Hawaii Five-0 would be his breakout acting job, when he joined the long-running police procedural for its fifth season in 2015. Kekumano debuted as young delinquent Nahele Huikala, playing the part for five seasons, as his arc explored his complex relationship with his father and family.

Since his first appearance on Hawaii Five-0, Kekumano has racked up several other screen credits, including Worker Bee in Marvel’s sci-fi television series Inhumans, Micah Kumu in short film Hae Hawai’e, and Koa in romantic comedy A Midsummer’s Hawaiian Dream. In 2018, he made his big screen debut in the DC Extended Universe movie Aquaman, directed by James Wan. The film brought him to a global audience, and Kekumano has since established a large social media following with over 26,000 followers on Instagram alone, on which he frequently shares surfing-related content. In addition to acting and surfing, Kekumano has worked extensively as a model.
