Petelo Kahofuna was a
king of Uvea, ruling briefly in 1933. He was preceded by
Sosefo Mautāmakia I, and succeeded by
Mikaele Tufele II.
Following the death of
Sosefo Mautāmakia I he was elected king on March 13 1933.
However, the French colonial administration refused to recognise his election.
[ On 23 May a French warship arrived carrying the remains of Sosefo, as well as Mukoi, one of Sosefo's ministers. Kahofuna was informed that he was dismissed as king.][ On 25 May, following Sosefo's funeral, Mikaele Tufele II was again elected as king.][
