''Hoku'' is the eponymous debut album by Hoku, released on April 18, 2000. The album attained modest commercial success, peaking at number 151 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 album chart and within the top 10 of the Heatseekers Albums chart. The album had sold more than 230,000 copies in the United States within three years of its release.

Follow-up single "How Do I Feel (The Burrito Song)" was less successful, failing to chart but yielding positive feedback from critics. ''Hoku'' remains Hoku's only full-length, major label album to date, and one of only two releases (the other being her 2008 EP ''Listen Up''). ...
