Not sure if this helps, but in the DNZB essay on Te Hapuku (click here to see this) it says:
Te Hapuku may have joined in the campaign to punish Ngati Raukawa and its Rangitane allies for their attack on Hawke's Bay, in which the mother of Kurupo Te Moananui had been killed. It is recorded that he consumed part of the body of the son of Te Hirawanu Kaimokopuna. One of the prisoners taken was a female cousin of Te Hirawanu; Te Hapuku took her to wife; their son was Watene Te Hapuku.

I am inquiring about a woman called whakarongo she lived in the manawatu area Palmerston North. She was born about 1795 and she was kidnapped round about the 1820,s. and taken up north. She later returned to the manawatu area after christianity was introduced. She had a brother called Hirawanu Kaimokopuna whom was a chief of the Rangitane people and he was considered by William Colenso as the great chief of the upper part and the lower part of the manawatu river.
