| Hau is described as a big-hearted boy who quickly befriends the {{player}} once they move to the [[Alola]] [[region]]. He is the grandson of [[Hala]], who is the [[island kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]]; and his favorite food is [[malasada]], a famous treat in Alola. One of the villagers in [[Iki Town]], where they live, comments that as a boy, Hau had once witnessed Hala in a rage, which frightened him to the point of tears. Nothing Hala did could comfort him, which he claims is the reason why Hala is "too soft" on Hau. | | Hau is described as a big-hearted boy who quickly befriends the {{player}} once they move to the [[Alola]] [[region]].

| ====[[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]==== | | ====On Melemele Island==== |
| Hau first meets the player after they have chosen their [[starter Pokémon]], revealing that he already has one. Hau will challenge the player using the starter Pokémon weak to that of the player's choice. Upon losing, he quickly shrugs off his defeat as he says that he is having fun. Hau's happy-go-lucky attitude affects most of his early {{pkmn|battle}}s as he didn't mind losing and just wants to enjoy his adventure. He embarks on the [[island challenge]] at the same time as the player, and completes the challenges at around the same pace. He travels along with the player, [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Lillie]] through Melemele Island. After the player goes through the {{al|Trainers' School}}, Hau brings the player and Lillie to [[Hau'oli City]], where he helps the player upgrade their [[Rotom Pokédex]] with the Poké Finder at the Alola Tourist Bureau. After this, the group of three meet back up and take group picture using Rotom Dex's new feature. While Hau does most of his trials at around the same time as the player, he tends to relax first, preferring to explore cities such as local shops first, often doing his trials and tasks after the player. In Sun and Moon, Hau rides on the boat with the player, Lillie and Professor Kukui to [[Heahea City]] on [[Akala Island]], showing exciting of reaching a new location and wanting to hurry. In contrast to Lillie, he tends to take things less serious. | | Hau first meets the player after they have chosen their [[starter Pokémon]], revealing that he already has one.

| | ====On Akala Island==== |
| Hau occasionally meets up with the player throughout Akala Island, doing the same trials as them. He frequiently asks the player to battles with them, such as in [[Paniola Town]], where he tells them how he wishes to be strong like his grandfather, who has provided him with a [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}} of his own. The two travel to {{rt|5|Alola}} and have another encounter with [[Team Skull]], this time with another member by the name of [[Gladion]]. Gladion defeats Hau in battle, telling Hau that his Pokémon aren't weak, but Hau doesn't tend to take things too seriously, irritating Gladion. Hau meets up with the player again at the [[Battle Royal Dome]], along with Gladion who once again, have conflicting thoughts on Pokémon battles. Hau makes it back to [[Heahea City]] catching up with the main group at [[Professor Burnet]]'s Dimensional Research Lab and walks with the player through [[Diglett's Tunnel]] to meet up with [[Olivia]] for his grand trial. Sometime along the way [[Faba]] from the [[Aether Foundation]] invites Hau to go with the player to [[Aether Paradise]]. Hau invites Lillie with them, who rejects and chooses to watch Hau's grand trial with Olivia instead. At Akala Island's sea port, he seems impressed the man-made island of [[Aether Paradise]] and is excited to talk about it with the player. | | Hau occasionally meets up with the player throughout Akala Island, doing the same trials as them.

| On the tour through Aether Paradise, Hau meets [[Wicke]], who recognizes that he is a trial-goer at the age of 11. Meeting up with [[Lusamine]], at the conservation area, he converses with her and the player about how cruel nature can truly and it's the job of the Aether Foundation to protect Pokémon without harming the natural course. Hau is shocked to hear from Lusamine that she is over forty years old. Lusamine makes the quick comment that the right outfit can make someone look much better. Hau makes an off-handed statment that nobody could probably pull off the president's looks, except for Lillie, invoking a non-verbal response in Lusamine. An [[Ultra Wormhole]] appears in front of the group and out comes an [[Ultra Beast]], Hau tells the player to fight and distract {{p|Nihilego|the creature}} as he protects Lusamine from harm. Afterwards, Lusamine tells Wicke to bring them them back on their island challenge and boat them to [[Ula'ula Island]]. | | On the tour through Aether Paradise, Hau meets [[Wicke]], who recognizes that he is a trial-goer at the age of 11.

| | ====On Ula'ula Island==== |
| On the island of Ula'ula, Hau meets up with Kukui and the player at [[Malie Garden]], who tells them that their next trial is on top of [[Mount Hokulani]] at the [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Hau does not seem to recgonize what an observatory is, but is excited to find out. He splits paths with the player, preferring to find other things to do before challenging the trial. He does his trial off-screen, meeting up with the player again at {{rt|13|Alola}}, where they butt heads once again with Gladion. Gladion tells them both that if they know about a Pokémon by the name of {{|Cosmog}}, they should keep it safe at all costs, as it could bring diaster to the Alola region. Hau starts to worry if Lillie is going to be okay. Hau and Lillie stay at the [[Aether House]] for the time being while the player does their trial and saves a {{p|Yungoos}} at [[Po Town]]. While the player is gone, Aether House is raided by Team Skull, Hau manages to win a battle against a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}, but says that battles he can't afford to lose aren't any fun. Before the player returns, Hau loses a critical battle against Team Skull's Admin [[Plumeria]] when she and her grunts kidnaps Lillie, and is left depressed and in doubt of his own skills because of this. He feels weak for being unable to save Lillie, who in turn, willingly went with Team Skull to protect Hau, [[Nebby]], and any children involved. Gladion over hears this conversation, and berates both Hau and the player for being unable to protect Nebby and Lillie, telling them to go to Aether Paradise with him. | | On the island of Ula'ula, Hau meets up with Kukui and the player at [[Malie Garden]], who tells them that their next trial is on top of [[Mount Hokulani]] at the [[Hokulani Observatory]].

| Hau joins the player and Gladion in their attempt to rescue Lillie and Nebby from the Aether Foundation. Although he starts to doubt about himself and at first hesitates to accompany them because he would probably feel like a burden. During the infiltration in Aether Paradise, he is constantly irritated by Gladion's orders and lack of explaining, both constantly end up arguing. He goes with the player to Secret Lab B to learn mroe about Cosmog. Hau manages to take down several {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s with Gladion and the player before reaching Lillie, glad to hear that she is unharmed. He ends up surprised when Lusamine reveals that Lillie and Gladion were her children. Lusamine attempts to open up [[Ultra Wormhole]]s across Alola using the captured Nebby. At this time, Gladion orders Hau to keep [[Guzma]] busy while he deals with the recently arrived {{p|Nihilego}}, but Lusamine and Guzma manage to achieve their objective and escape. | | Hau joins the player and Gladion in their attempt to rescue Lillie and Nebby from the Aether Foundation.

Hau makes it back to Heahea City catching up with the main group at Professor Burnet's Dimensional Research Lab and walks with the player through Diglett's Tunnel to meet up with Olivia for his grand trial.

Ending
When the player is about to enter the Pokémon League building, Hau catches up to them and challenges the player to another battle to decide who will face the league first. This time, Hau takes the fight more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength.

In the post-game
At the start of the post-game, Hau appears at the player's house to give them the Z-Crystals to the starter Pokémon they didn't choose at the start of the game, saying that he got them as rewards after having finally had a serious battle with his grandfather. After asking the player and their mom about Kanto, he decides to train hard to one day travel there to find both Lillie and his father, who is a strong Trainer who had hated being the son of a kahuna and thus had moved out of Alola. Hau also warns that he will try to beat the player and snatch them their Champion title, now that he is strong enough. Afterwards, Hau can be found at Iki Town, training a pair of reformed Team Skull Grunts in Alolan sumo.
Hau is one of the possible NPCs who can challenge the player for the title of Champion, implying that he has completed all his island trials. He will always be the first challenger to appear after the player has defeated the Elite Four for the second time. There, Hau has achieved everything he wanted, but he warns that he still has an opponent to defeat, the player.
After the player has obtained their starter Pokémon from Professor Kukui on Route 1, Hau will appear and choose his own starter from the remaining two (which is always the one weak to the player's choice) before challenging the player into their first Trainer battle. When his grandfather shows up late in Iki Town, Hau berates him for his lateness. After the player has defeated Hala, instead of boarding Kukui's boat, Hau will invite the player to ride Mantine to Akala Island.
On Ula'ula Island, Hau will give the player a Lycanium Z after battling them after their arrival on the island. After the player defeats Guzma at Malie Garden, Guzma notices Hau and tells him that he shouldn't take the island challenge just because he's a kahuna's grandson. After the Aether Paradise incident, Hau realizes that he keeps failing to protect those he cares about, and becomes even more determined to become stronger.
When Necrozma fuses with Nebby during the game's climax and Ultra Beasts start appearing around Alola, Hau and Hala are seen coming face to face with a BlacephalonUS/StakatakaUM at Mahalo Trail. Hala chooses to entrust the battle to his grandson, who is soon joined in the battle by Tapu Koko. After the Necrozma crisis is over and the player starts taking on Mina's trial, the player encounters Hau and his fully evolved starter at Hau'oli Cemetery, also taking on Mina's trial. He then tells the player that they should have a serious battle once they're both done with their island challenge. Later during Mina's trial, he also shows up outside the Aether House, encountering the player and Guzma there. He encourages Guzma to become something no one's ever been before, before giving the player one last warning of their upcoming serious battle. After the player has cleared Mina's trial, Hala will show up and reveal that he and Hau had finally had an all-out battle, in which Hau had managed to defeat his grandfather.
After the player has defeated the Elite Four, instead of Professor Kukui challenging them to test the player's worthiness, Hau will appear to face the player as their final challenger at the Pokémon League to determine the Alola region's first Champion. This time, Hau takes the fight much more seriously and asks the player to use all their strength. He also once again appears in the Title Defense battles, now being the strongest possible challenger.
During the post-game, Hau will accompany the player to Poni Grove to help the Ultra Recon Squad deal with a group of BlacephalonUS/StakatakaUM that have appeared there. Regardless of how the player fares against the Ultra Beasts, Hau eventually manages to catch one, giving it to the Ultra Recon Squad for research purposes.
After the Ultra Beast incident at Poni Grove has been solved, Hau can be found at Iki Town, going through the memories of his island challenge with his starter. The Z-Crystals he gave to the player in Sun and Moon are now obtained from Hala instead.
In the Special Demo, Hau appears as part of the story. After the player, Sun, arrrives in Hau'oli City, he introduces himself. In the Tourist Burearu, Sun's mother suggests that they take a look around the city's shopping district. Sun and Hau then get into a fight with Team Skull. After which, Hau directs the player to a Pokémon Center where he provides the player with a Super Potion.
On Sunday nights, Hau will appear near the Malasada Shop.

Hau's team slightly differs based on the player's starter Pokémon choice. He chooses the starter that is weak to the player's starter, while his Eevee evolves into the Eeveelution with a type advantage over the player's chosen starter.

In the anime
Main series
Hau debuted in No Stone Unturned!, where he and his father had just returned to Alola after a long time away. He was training with Dartrix, only for its attacks to accidentally hit Ash, Rotom, and Pikachu. Hau became excited upon seeing Ash's Z-Ring and asked if he had taken part in Hala's grand trial. Hau then had a battle against Ash, using Dartrix against Rowlet. Hau ended up winning when Ash dropped his Grassium Z. Ash suggested they have another battle, but Hau was about to have a meeting with his father, so he declined but promised to meet up the next day for a rematch. The next day, they conducted their rematch after Rowlet learned how to use Seed Bomb, but it was still not enough to defeat it. In a last-ditch effect, Ash and Rowlet performed the Z-Move Bloom Doom, which was able to defeat Dartrix.
In League Offenders and Defenders!, Hau caught up with Ash and met his classmates for the Manalo Conference. He later assisted in the battle against Team Skull, defeating Rapp and her Zubat.
In Battle Royal 151!, Hau competed in the Battle Royal preliminary round of the Manalo Conference with his Alolan Raichu and was able to progress to the Top 16. The match-ups revealed that he would be battling Samson Oak. In Battling Besties!, Hau went up against Samson in the first round of the Manalo Conference. He used his Raichu against Samson's Alolan Exeggutor and eventually won, advancing to the second round.
In The Battlefield of Truth and Love!, Hau approached Ash with his Decidueye upon learning that they would be battling each other in the next round of the Manalo Conference. In Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Strategy!, Hau went to search for Ash, who was late for their battle due to his training with Rowlet. After finding him and making it to the battlefield with him, Hau and Ash began their battle. During the battle, Decidueye was able to dodge Rowlet's Bloom Doom, before using its own Z-Move, Sinister Arrow Raid, which was barely avoided by Rowlet. The battle concluded in Battling on the Wing! after Decidueye was defeated by Rowlet's Brave Bird, thus eliminating Hau from the tournament. Though he congratulated Ash for his victory, Hau was left dismayed by his loss, but he was comforted by Hala, who complimented him for the battle.
From The Final Four! to The Wisdom Not to Run!, Hau watched the battles between Kiawe and Gladion, and Ash and Guzma. He then reappeared in a flashback in Final Rivals!.
In Enter the Champion!, Hau attended the award ceremony for the Manalo Conference victor, only for it to be interrupted when a Guzzlord arrived at the stadium through an Ultra Wormhole. In the following episode, Hau helped evacuate innocent civilians to safety, only for another, Shiny Guzzlord to emerge from another wormhole at the shopping area. By combining their Z-Moves, Hau, Gladion, Kiawe, Lana, Lillie, Sophocles, and Mallow managed to successfully knock the Shiny Guzzlord back into Ultra Space.
From Exhibition Unmasked! to From Z to Shining Z!, Hau watched the exhibition match between Ash and Professor Kukui alongside Decidueye.
In Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!, Hau was briefly seen battling Nanu in the Ula'ula Island grand trial, though the outcome of the battle wasn't shown.
In Helping the Hometown Hero!, Hau and Decidueye watched the Battle Royal match between Ash, Kukui, Gladion, and Kiawe.
Character
Hau is an energetic young Trainer keen to take on the Island challenge. His inexperience showed during his debut appearance in No Stone Unturned!, where he was confident though lacked direction in his battle style. Hau's focus and ability to foresee his opponent's strategy had improved by the eve of the Manalo Conference, which enabled him to advance to the Top 8 before he was defeated by Ash in their match in Battling on the Wing!. He is still learning to cope with defeat, though quickly calms himself down. He also values the experience of others as inspiration, especially Ash and his grandfather Hala.

Hau in Pokémon Adventures
Hau debuted in The Decision and the Tournament of Six. He first appeared as a participant at an Iki Town festival tournament.
In The Announcement and the Prize, Hau faced Gladion in the first round. During their battle, Gladion asked why Hau joined the tournament and assumed he wanted to surpass his grandfather Hala. When Hau replied that he thought it would be fun, Gladion called him weak and won the battle.
In A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart, Hau met Ilima at the Melemele Island Trainers' School and requested to join him and the other Trial Captains in confronting Team Skull at their hideout in Po Town. Hau wanted to meet Guzma, who was a student of Hala's, but ended up believing that only victories mattered in battles. After Ilima accepted, Hau went off to buy malasadas, as he believed that with food, everyone might get along easier. Later that day, Hau and Ilima met with Lana, Kiawe, Mallow, and Acerola at Po Town. Their presence alerted Guzma, who demanded to know why his base was being invaded. When the Hau and the Captains revealed they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed on the condition they made it to him first. He then summoned a Pheromosa, Celesteela, and Guzzlord; and had them attack Hau and the Captains. Despite their best efforts, Hau and the others were completely outmatched by the rampaging Ultra Beasts.
In Confusion and Monsters from Another World, Sun arrived at Po Town, only to get caught up in the commotion. Annoyed Hau and the Captains were still fighting, Guzma revealed a Cosmog and had it open more Ultra Wormholes. Gladion appeared, demanding to know where Guzma got the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. Revealing his true aim is to destroy Ultra Beasts, Gladion battled the beasts Guzma summoned with his Type: Null. To everyone's shock, Gladion also revealed the Aether Foundation's president, Lusamine, was the one who gave Guzma Cosmog as part of her plan to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the Ultra Beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc across Ula'ula Island.
Six months later in Shock!! Father in the Pendant!, Hau traveled to Exeggutor Island, where the Trial Captains and island kahunas had been training in preparation to face the Ultra Beasts. Despite Hala initially refusing to let him join the others in training, Hau requested to participate in the battle to protect Alola, revealing that he had been training by himself while traveling around Alola and unknowingly obtained a Sparkling Stone, which was made into a Z-Ring by Olivia. Seeing the Z-Ring and Hau's determination, Hala agreed to train his grandson.
Hau was taken to Resolution Cave, where he sparred with Hala until his Brionne evolved into a Primarina. After finishing their training, Hala decided they should join the others on Mount Lanakila, only to be interrupted by a battle between Tapu Fini and a Buzzwole. After learning the others were also battling the Ultra Beasts, Hau and Hala teamed up to assist Tapu Fini.
Several months later, Hau decided to open a malasada and Tapu Cocoa shop. He was assisted by a reformed Guzma and received recipe tips from Mallow.
