Kanoho (Dutch, Scottish, Diné, Siksikáwa) was born in Los Angeles, California and in 1967, when he was 10, his parents moved the family to Oʻahu. They landed in Kailua on Omaʻo Street. Having no friends, he was quickly adopted by Native Hawaiian kupuna down the block whose adult children had moved away to the continent.

Over the course of several years, Tutu Kane and Tutu Lady taught Kanoho about Hawaiʻi, the Hawaiian culture and, most importantly, about Aloha.

Since the age of nine, Kanoho sought Universal Truth. To find it, he delved into, investigated, researched, studied, and often was initiated into many of the world’s belief systems, including: Catholicism; Born Again Christianity; Hawaiian spirituality & Hoʻoponopono; the mystic beliefs of Christianity & Judaism; the magic philosophy of Aleister Crowley; the philosophies of Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Casey; the Koran; Hinduism; the shaman practices of the Ainu (Japan), Diné (Navajo), Siksikáwa (Blackfoot), and Afro-Caribbean Santaria; Metaphysics; New Age spiritualism; Wicca; Quantum Physics; Taoism; and Tibetan Buddhism.
