David Leleo Kinimaka (July 5, 1851 – March 10, 1884) was a descendant of Hawaiian nobility and the hānai (adopted) brother to King Kalākaua. Kinimaka was a member of the Royal Guards of Hawaii during the reigns of Kamehameha V and Lunalilo until the 1873 mutiny at ʻIolani Barracks. He later became a member of Kalākaua's Privy Council of State and a commissioned officer in his King's Guards. In 2013, hundreds of his descendants from around the world gathered at Iolani Palace for a family reunion.
