Hau is character first appearing in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, as one of the main rivals of the games.
Appearance
Hau is a dark-skinned boy, with dark green hair, which is tied into a short ponytail with an orange band. Hau wears a black shirt, yellow board shorts with orange and white flowers on them and orange shoes and backpack. Hau is mostly seen smiling and being cheerful.
Personality
Hau is a Pokémon-loving young boy with a big appetite, who's the same age as the player character. When moving to the Alola region, he makes friends with the player character right away. He has a real weakness for malasada, a famous treat in the Alola region, and he is always in search of malasada shops.
He is a big-hearted boy, who really loves Pokémon for the majority of time. Though, this is because, when Hau was a young boy, he spotted Hala in a furious state, which scared him, to the point of even crying in fear. As Hala's actions couldn't comfort him, he decides to be "soft" with him.
Etymology
The name Hau comes from hau, the Hawaiian name for the beach hibiscus flower.
Biography
Sun and Moon
Hau is a boy who lives in Iki Town of Melemele Island. After the player character (Elio or Selene) arrives in Alola, Hau quickly befriends the player character and they become rivals. He battles the player character several times across the Alola region.

Trivia
- Hau is the first main male rival to pick the Starter Pokémon which has the type disadvantage to the player's.
- It is hinted that Hau has a crush on Lillie.
- Hau mentioned that his father is always working overseas due to having a distaste towards his identity as the son of Hala the Melemele Kahuna.
- In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, if the player character chooses Rowlet as their starter, Hau's Popplio is female. This marks the only time a male rival uses a female starter Pokémon instead of a male.
