|age=Unconfirmed<ref>[[Hala/Quotes|Hala]]: ''"The island challenge Kukui spoke of... [...] It is the great adventure that children in the Alola region embark upon, along with their Pokémon, once they reach 11 years of age!"'' ([[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]])</ref><ref>[[Mallow/Quotes#Pokémon Sun and Moon|Mallow]]: ''"I mean, we have to move on from being captains when we turn 20 anyway."''

At the end of the game, Kiawe appears with the rest of the Trial Captains at the festival in [[Iki Town]] after the player has become {{pkmn|Champion}}. When he isn't performing dance as entertainment, he is seen hanging around Lana and Mallow. In the credits of Sun and Moon, a photograph taken by the player character is shown. Kiawe is shown performing a traditional Alolan dance with his Marowak inside a building at Paniola Town.

Kiawe has very few differences between Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon compared to Sun and Moon, retaining mainly the same role as he did in the original titles. Like in the original games, Kiawe is first met in the Battle Royal Dome. At Wela Volcano Park, Kiawe's trial on observation is retained, however, the Totem Pokémon that Kiawe has trained is an [[Alolan form|Alolan]] {{p|Marowak}}, rather than a {{p|Salazzle}}. He reappears in Mallow's trial the same way as he did in Sun and Moon.

Kiawe forms a [[sync pair]] with {{rf|Alolan}} {{TP|Kiawe|Marowak}} and {{p|Arcanine}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Kiawe became a playable sync pair on June 13, 2021.

 

Kiawe debuted in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. He is a student at the [[Pokémon School]] of [[Melemele Island]] and one of {{Ash}}'s [[rival]]s and former {{ashcl|classmates}}. He owns a [[Z-Ring]] and is very gruff compared to his classmates. Besides attending school, he provides a helping hand at [[Paniola Ranch|his family's farm]], making deliveries between islands with his {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}. He also reappeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.

'''Kiawe''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese SM Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|To Have Seen the Battle Rainbow}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Burning Shadows}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in To Have Seen the Battle Rainbow and Burning Shadows, with an illustration by [[Naoki Saito]]. It allows the player to search their deck for up to 4 Fire Energy cards and attach them to 1 of their Pokémon. The player then shuffles their deck and their turn ends.
