In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Kiawe debuts in the. He, Mallow, and Lana travel to Heahea City to meet with, who had been approved to take part in the island challenge. The three were initially reluctant if Sun was worthy enough to take place in the island challenge and decided to battle Sun to test him. Kiawe initially held the advantage in the battle, but got distracted when Sun's words during the battle made Kiawe realize he forgot to tell his boss at the Thrifty Megamart that he was leaving work early. Lana revealed to everyone that Kiawe aims to save up money to study fire dancing abroad. Sun and Kiawe quickly get along after this, as Sun also aims to save up money for a goal. As thanks for preventing him from getting fired, Kiawe decides to accept Sun as a trialgoer.

Despite this, Lana is still reluctant and tells everyone to follow her to Brooklet Hill. The group travels to, where Lana reveals that she wants Sun to defeat the Totem Pokémon that is causing havoc at Brooklet Hill. While Sun and Lana go off to do the trial, Kiawe heads off to his job at the Thrifty Megamart. As he leaves, Kiawe suggests that Sun stop by the Megamart to meet with his manager for a job offer.

Later, Kiawe is attacked by someone around Memorial Hill. After hearing about the situation from a phone call, Mallow takes Moon, Sun, and Lana to the area, where they find an injured Kiawe lying on the ground, defeated. A group of s appear and claim that they were the ones who attacked Kiawe. Angered by this, Lana and Mallow send out their Pokémon to battle the Grunts and tell Sun and Moon to tend to Kiawe's wounds. Kiawe reveals that the Grunts weren't the ones who defeated him and it was actually a far more powerful Trainer. Kiawe tells Sun that he had been thinking about the attack Sun's used at the Iki Town festival and pulls out a Firium Z from En's fur to reveal that it was the source of the attack.

Lana and Mallow stay behind while Sun takes Moon and Kiawe to the Ruins of Life in order to check up on. After Kiawe's injuries are healed by Moon, Kiawe tells Sun about Z-Moves and how to use them. With practice, Sun masters the pose for, which Kiawe says will be needed to face the person who attacked him. Due to not possessing a Z-Ring, Kiawe decided to lend his Z-Ring, which he received from Tapu Lele five years ago.

Shortly after, they are attacked by Gladion, who managed to easily kidnap Tapu Lele. Kiawe throws his Z-Ring over to Sun so he can use it, but Gladion's destroys it. Although Gladion claims that Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appears and points out that if Gladion truly believed that, he wouldn't have destroyed Kiawe's Z-Ring. The voice is revealed to be Kahili, who uses her Pokémon to attack Type: Null before delivering Sun a Z-Ring created by Hala. With the Z-Ring, Sun has his, Dollar, use Inferno Overdrive to defeat Gladion's Type: Null. Believing Tapu Lele to be too weak to be useful for him, Gladion leaves it behind and retreats.

Afterward, Tapu Lele awakens, allowing Sun to deliver the Mirage Berry to it, successfully completing his task. As thanks for healing its injuries, Tapu Lele asks the group to allow it to test their strength. Kiawe, Sun, Moon, and Kahili accept and send out their Pokémon to face the guardian deity. Despite the combined effort of their attacks, Tapu Lele was too strong and easily blew their attacks away until Sun, refusing to give up, managed to get a hit in after Dollar evolved into a. While the attack didn't harm Tapu Lele, it acknowledged their determination and flew off. Kiawe, Sun, and Moon head off to meet with Lana and Mallow, who had managed to defeat the Grunts.

The next day, at Konikoni City, Kiawe and the others head to Mallow's restaurant to talk to Professor Kukui's wife, Professor Burnet, over a video phone. They talk to each other over the various cracks in the sky that have been spotted around Alola and speculate that Nebby may have been the cause for their appearance. When they suspect that Team Skull may be after Nebby for some scheme, Lana suggests that they infiltrate Team Skull's base to find out. Exasperated by this, Mallow suggested asking Ilima and Acerola to help them.

Later, Kiawe, Lana, and Mallow traveled to Ula'ula Island, where they met up with Acerola and Ilima. Joining Ilima was Hau, who requested to come along and assist everyone. Shortly after entering Po Town, the group was accosted by several s and the commotion alerted Team Skull's leader, Guzma, who demanded to know why his base was being intruded. When the Captains' group stated they only wanted to talk, Guzma agreed to their request, but only on the condition that they were able to make to him first. As he says this, a, , and appear to attack Kiawe's group.

The three Ultra Beasts proceed to rampage, attacking anything in sight. As the battle went on, Sun arrived on the scene, only to get caught up in the commotion. Eventually the Captains' Pokémon are defeated, but Guzma reveals he is in possession of a, which he uses to open two Ultra Wormholes in order to summon more Ultra Beasts. Shortly after, Gladion appeared and demanded that Guzma tell him where he received the Cosmog and Ultra Beasts from. After revealing his true goal is to destroy the Ultra Beasts, Gladion sends out Type: Null to battle the beasts Guzma summoned.

Despite the Captains' Pokémon failing to even scratch the Ultra Beasts, Type: Null is easily able to harm them due to the Aether Foundation specifically creating it to fight beasts. To everyone's shock, Gladion reveals that the Aether Foundation's president, Lusamine, is the one who gave Guzma his beasts and is secretly using him to fuel her desire for a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Eventually, the beasts manage to break free from Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on all of Ula'ula. The Captains head off to various different locations to evacuate any innocent civilians caught in the beasts' attacks.
