Kono Kalakaua is a character on the TV show Hawaii Five-O. She was portrayed by Grace Park and was a part of the show for seven seasons. At the end of season seven, Kono left Hawaii for Carson City, Nevada, where she joined a multi-agency task force combating sex trafficking. Not much of her story is shown after that. Grace Park left the show after contract disputes with the network. Konos departure had a significant impact on the other characters in Hawaii Five-O. Her absence left a void in the team, as Kono was not only a skilled investigator but also a trusted friend and confidante. The show explored how her departure affected the dynamics within the team and how they had to adapt to her absence.
