Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

==Personality==
{{sec-stub}}
Maui is a boisterous demigod and can be prone to arrogance when talking about his achievements, which helps mask some very deep-seated issues regarding his abandonment. Nonetheless, he is very heroic and loyal to his friends.
==Origin==
==Origin==
Based on a hero and chief of the same name from Polynesian mythology, Maui first appeared in Walt Disney Animation Studio's fifty-sixth animated feature, ''{{w|Moana (2016 film)|Moana}}'', where he was voiced by {{w|Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson}}. In the film, it is revealed he was tossed into the sea by his parents, who did not want him. Maui was subsequently found by the gods, and they granted him a magical fish hook that made him a demigod. Maui returned to the people and granted them their every desire. However, when he stole the Heart of Te Fiti for them, he accidentally created the lava demoness Te Kā and cost him his hook. Stranded on an island for the next millennium, Maui eagerly anticipated a means of escaping as the world decayed around him.

Maui returned to the people and granted them their every desire and he even stole the Heart of Te Fiti for them, but this act created the lava demoness Te Kā and cost him his hook. Stranded on an island for the next one thousand years, Maui eagerly anticipated a means of escaping as the world decayed around him.


During the events of ''Moana'', Maui is found by the titular character, who orders him to help her restore the Heart of Te Fiti. The demigod only agrees to do so once he retrieves his fish hook from a giant crab, Tamatoa. With his hook restored to him, Maui gradually warms up to Moana and teaches her to become a wayfinder. The two manage to overcome Te Kā, restore the Heart of Te Fiti, and save the world.
