Lehua
Lehua Sandbo, real name Lehualani Ehukai Sandbo, was to be the last girl added to Coconuts Musume and barely edges out Danielle in time spent in the group. According to a fan's interview with Lehua, she heard about the audition to join Coconuts Musume through an aunt and initally wasn't going to apply stating that she had "just finished doing a play" but soon reconsidered. She submitted her resume after the primary auditions had already been held but she still found her way to finals and from there promptly chosen to be the next Coconut.
Oddly enough, her first single wouldn't be with Coconuts Musume but with the 2000 shuffle group Aoiro7 followed a few months later by her first Coconuts Musume single "Tokonatsu Musume."
Lehua would later be included in the 2001 shuffle group 7nin Matsuri followed with what appears to be the last Coconuts' single "Jounetsu Yuki Miraisen." In either late 2001 or early 2002, citing that she wanted to attend college, Lehua would graduate from H!P leaving Coconuts Musume
Lehua is now married to professional surfboarder Kapono Nahina -what chicks see in these hunky, athletic beachcomber types I'll never understand- and has a daughter with him. It appears Lehua is now a full-time mom but no indication as to whether she went forward with her academic ambitions or if she has a desire to work as a singer again.
Note:The name "Lehua" is derived from the Hawaiian myth of Ōhia and Lehua. Ōhia was once the object of desire of Pele, a goddess known for her bad temper, and was rejected by him. She turned him into a tree out of spite leaving Ōhia's lover, Lehua, mourning his lost. The gods took pity on Lehua and changed her into a flower and placed it on the tree. It's said that when you removie the Lehua flower from an Ōhia tree, it will start to rain, representing the tears of the seperated lovers. "Lehua" is also the name of a small uninhabited island among the Hawaiian island chain.
