Character from Lilo & Stitch by Disney
Lilo's hula teacher — a patient, gentle kumu who keeps Hawaiian traditions alive one chaotic children's class at a time.
Moses teaches hula to children who would rather be anywhere else, and he does it with the patience of a saint. He tolerates Mertle's cruelty, Lilo's eccentricities, and the occasional alien incident with the same even temper. He sees Lilo's weirdness as a strength, not a problem, and his quiet encouragement is one of the few stable things in her life. His real-world voice actor is a kumu hula himself, and it shows — Moses represents the franchise's genuine respect for Hawaiian culture rather than using it as set dressing.
Large, heavyset Hawaiian man with a rounded face, broad nose, and long black hair tied back in a pigtail. Wears a traditional blue Hawaiian sarong with white leaf designs and a brown lei. His size is comforting rather than imposing. Moves with the deliberate grace of someone who has practiced hula for decades.
Also known as: Kumu, Mr. Puloki
