Kai (and Hina) notably said “Never turn your back on the ocean.” Kai was very worthy of delivering this line because his name literally means ocean. So, we don’t turn our back on the ocean, and we sure as hell don’t turn our back on Kai.

It’s common for AANHPI actors to play characters that don't match their heritage, but they do right by it consistently because of the mutual understanding of its importance. Alex certainly did right by Hawaiʻi, and AANHPI representation overall.
