E whakatangi ana a Tūtānekai i tāna kōauau ki te pokapū o Rotorua. Hāunga tōna kāwai rangatira, he pōriro a Tūtānekai whai muri i te moe a tōna whaea a Rangiuru ki te rangatira ki a Tūwharetoa. Ahakoa tēnei, ka whakaae tonu te hoa rangatira o Rangiuru a Whakaue ko Tūtānekai hei tamaiti whāngai māna.
