[[SM125|At the age of five]], he met {{Ash}}, whom a {{OBP|Celebi|recurring}} had accidentally [[time travel|sent into the past]]. Due to Ash's mastery of [[Z-Move]]s, he started calling him the "Move [[Island kahuna|Kahuna]]" (Japanese: '''ワザキング''' ''Move King'') and asked to battle with him. Ash easily won the battle and taught the young Kukui, whom he started calling "Roarie" (Japanese: '''ガオ''' ''Gao'') due to his {{p|Incineroar}} cap, that there was no shame in losing. He proceeded to tell Kukui about his [[Gym]] and [[Pokémon League]] battles in other [[region]]s, inspiring Kukui's own ambitions. Soon, Ash was transported back to the present by Celebi, leaving both young boys unaware of each other's real names. | [[SM125|At the age of five]], he met {{Ash}}, whom a {{OBP|Celebi|recurring}} had accidentally [[time travel|sent into the past]].

In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Hala revealed that Kukui and [[Guzma]] were once his apprentices. However, the two had a falling-out after Guzma expressed beliefs that [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s were pointless. While Guzma abandoned his training and established [[Team Skull]], Kukui continued to study under Hala. | In ''[[SM128|League Offenders and Defenders!]]'', Hala revealed that Kukui and [[Guzma]] were once his apprentices.

In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Kukui accompanied his students to the [[Altar of the Sunne]] on [[Poni Island]] to catch up with {{an|Lillie}}, who had run away from home with her brother, {{an|Gladion}}, in search of a way to save Lusamine, who had been abducted by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}. [[SM052|Later]], while watching Alola's [[guardian deities]] bless Nebby, he received a phone call for help from Professor Burnet and left to help her out. He soon witnessed Burnet and her {{p|Munchlax}} being surrounded by a group of {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}, but using his {{p|Braviary}} he was able to drive the Scaly Pokémon off. By the time the two professors returned to the altar though, Ash and the others had already ridden off on Nebby into an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. Kukui and Burnet stayed behind and waited until the group [[SM054|finally]] returned with Lusamine. | In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Kukui accompanied his students to the [[Altar of the Sunne]] on [[Poni Island]] to catch up with {{an|Lillie}}, who had run away from home with her brother, {{an|Gladion}}, in search of a way to save Lusamine, who had been abducted by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}}.

Kukui's alter-ego, the Masked Royal, debuted in ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]''. When Ash and {{ashcl}} visited the [[Battle Royal Dome]], Ash's {{p|Litten}} got agitated upon seeing Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. This prompted him to invite Ash, along with {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}, to take part in a [[Battle Royal]], which the Masked Royal easily won. Days later, after seeing Litten training to master {{m|Flame Charge}}, Kukui, dressed up again as the Masked Royal, showed up to have a one-on-one battle with Ash. During the battle, Litten evolved into {{AP|Torracat}} and was able to perfect Flame Charge. Despite this, however, the battle ended in the Masked Royal's victory.

The Masked Royal reappeared in ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', where he faced a member of the [[Revengers]], [[Mr. Electric]], and his {{p|Electivire}} in a Battle Royal. However, due to interference [[Mad Magmar]]'s {{p|Magmortar}}, Mr. Electric was disqualified. The Masked Royal got challenged by Mad Magmar to a battle for the title of the strongest fighter, which he accepted. The next day, Kukui accompanied Burnet and his students to the Battle Royal Dome, but began feeling nervous as he had to take on his role as the Masked Royal without his identity being found out. After managing to sneak away, he was able to reach the ring in time, where his battle would begin. However, Mad Magmar played dirty again by having other members of the Revengers gang up on Incineroar until Ash's Torracat interfered. Teaming up with Torracat and Ash, the Masked Royal and Incineroar took on Mad Magmar and Mr. Electric and eventually managed to beat them, despite all the interference. | The Masked Royal reappeared in ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', where he faced a member of the [[Revengers]], [[Mr. Electric]], and his {{p|Electivire}} in a Battle Royal.

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over Alola, leaving Kukui and all other adults tired and without motivation. [[SM088|Later]], after this was resolved, Kukui met up the [[Ultra Guardians]], Burnet, Lusamine, Faba, and Wicke inside the Ultra Guardians base, where he oversaw {{an|Lunala}} recovering. [[SM089|Later]], when the Ultra Guardians left for [[Ultra Space]] with Lunala, Kukui and Faba volunteered to aid them. On [[Ten Carat Hill]], he and Faba confronted [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Matori Matrix]] by using their Pokémon to damage the team's airship and prevent them from entering the Ultra Wormhole. Afterwards, Kukui and Faba faced [[Gozu]] and his {{me|Aggron}} in battle, but their Pokémon were swiftly beaten. In [[SM090|the next episode]], Kukui asked Faba if he had more Pokémon, and the latter replied he did not. Thus, Kukui was forced to send out his Incineroar and perform its Z-Move, {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}, which managed to defeat Mega Aggron. However, this also caused him to reveal his secret identity to Faba, who in turn revealed that he was a big fan of the Masked Royal. Later, alongside Incineroar and Faba, Kukui joined the rest of Alola in showering {{an|Necrozma}} with Z-Power so it could return to its {{ | In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over Alola, leaving Kukui and all other adults tired and without motivation.

In ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', the Masked Royal announced a handshake event to be held on Melemele Island. When Ash and Burnet told Kukui they wanted him to go with them to the event, Kukui asked [[Molayne]] to help keep his Masked Royal identity a secret. The day of the event, Molayne prepared to change into the Masked Royal costume, only to be tied up by Faba and [[James]], who had mistaken him for an imposter. When Mad Magmar came around looking for revenge, Faba donned the Masked Royal costume and tried to defeat him with Incineroar, only to be easily defeated. After freeing himself, Molayne had his {{p|Magneton}} shut the lights off, giving Kukui the time to slip back into his Masked Royal costume and defeat Mad Magmar. | In ''[[SM092|Turning the Other Mask!]]'', the Masked Royal announced a handshake event to be held on Melemele Island.
