Ihaia Te Kirikumara was a celebrated warrior chief of the Otaraua hapu of Ngati-Awa, from Taranaki. He was present, as a young man, at the siege of Motutawa (Mokau) in 1832. He remained in Taranaki when the hekes took place to Cook Strait, and helped in the defence of Sugar Loaf where he was taken prisoner. In 1834 he arrived in Taranaki as a prisoner, accompanying the Waikato on a raid to Waitara to see his home. In 1842-43, by the good offices of the missionaries, he was liberated and returned to Waitara. Ihaia died at Wakatete pa, Waitara on 9 July 1873.
