Ratu Tanoa Visawaqa (pronounced {{IPA-fj|βisaːˈɰaːŋɡa|}}) (dead on 8 December 1852) was a Fijian Chieftain who held the title 5th Vunivalu of Bau. With Adi Savusavu, one of his nine wives, he was the father of Seru Epenisa Cakobau, who succeeded in unifying Fiji into a single kingdom. InstallationThe son of Ratu Banuve Baleivavalagi, 3rd Vunivalu of Bau[2] and his second wife, Roko Lewasaki. He was the father of the first Tui Viti, Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau, Ratu Tanoa was installed as Vunivalu upon the death of his elder brother Ratu Naulivou Ramatenikutu, who was involved in a fierce power struggle against the Turaga na Rasau and Roko Tui Bau, Ratu Raiwalui, which led to his death. The idea of a Tui Viti was conceived in the reign of Tanoa but saw fruition in the reign of his son Seru. The Wars of BauAs the animosity intensified, Ratu Tanoa was forced into exile, firstly on Koro Island and then in Somosomo on Taveuni, where he remained until his son, Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau led a coup in 1837, reinstalling his father as Vunivalu until his death in 1852, whereupon Cakobau inherited the title. He had 9 wives (6 of whom were strangled to death in December 1852);[3] amongst his issue were Ratu Tubuanakoro and Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau. The Burner of BoatsIt was before his exile that Tanoa was named Tanoa "Visawaqa" for his bloody campaign and slaying of the Roko Tui Bau, Ratu Raiwalui, he set fire to the War Canoes of the warriors of the Roko Tui Bau, and was thereafter called Tanoa — "Burner of boats", or figuratively, "excessive killer" — even though Ratu Naulivou sent his brother Tanoa on the mission to punish the Roko Tui Bau and his followers he did not expect the bloodbath that would follow, and Tanoa's actions greatly worried his brother. {{s-start}}{{succession box | title=Vunivalu of Bau (1st Term) | before=Ratu Naulivou Ramatenikutu | after=Navuaka Komainaqaranikula Tui Veikoso | years=1829–1832}}{{succession box | title=Vunivalu of Bau (2nd Term) | before=Navuaka Komainaqaranikula Tui Veikoso | after=Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau | years=1837–1852}}{{s-end}}References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Stanton|first1=William|title=The Great United States Exploring Expedition|date=1975|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley|isbn=0520025571|pages=192}} 2. ^Genealogy 3. ^Genealogy
