The highest populations are located in Hawaiʻi, Maui, and Oʻahu. Its name in the Hawaiian language, koa, also means brave, bold, fearless, or warrior.
Koa can be translated as bold and this wood certainly demands boldness in its masters. This wood can only be found in Hawaii, and only on a few of the islands at that. Koa has long been associated with royalty and warriors and has a well-deserved reputation as a fantastic dueling wand. However, it would be inaccurate to simply label this wand as a war wand, and its master as a bloodthirsty brute. Koa wands are well-rounded, approaching jack of all trade status, and often seek this in their masters. This pickiness (the wood is technically an Acacia) combined with the relative rarity of the wood, has resulted in Koa wands being somewhat rare outside Hawaii. Koa is a rather potent wood and is very well suited in the hands of the duelist or warrior. It is best known for its even balance of speed and power and has been found in the hands of both dark wizards and Aurors. This wand is also associated with overcoming obstacles and often chooses masters who are searching for something or are on a journey.
