Toarangatira was the last born child of Korokino of Ngāti Mango and Tūwhareiti of Ngāti Mutunga. His respective grandparents were Tūpāhau, a famous warrior chief of Tainui, and Mutunga himself. Toa grew to distinguish himself on the battle field and in tribal counsel. His descendants flourished and became famous warrior chiefs in their own right, taking the name Ngāti Toarangatira (Ngāti Toa).
