Hu or Hawwa was the legendary tenth mai (ruler) of the Kanem–Bornu Empire, ruling in the 11th century. As the earliest ruler associated with Islam in the empire's royal chronicle, Hu is generally identified as the first Muslim ruler of the empire. Some elements in the source material suggest that Hu might have been a woman, notably that Hawwa is a feminine name.
