Tumatauenga holds dominion over Te ira tangata – Man-kind, human activity, strategy and war. Tu-Mata-Uenga – Tu of the angry face is one of the many names of Tū.
Tū earned many names during his conquest over his siblings, such as Tū-ka-riri – Tū the angry, Tū-ka-nguha – Tū the fierce fighter, Tū-kai-taua – Tū the destroyer of armies, Tū-mata-whāiti – Tū the cunning, Tū-whakaheke-tangata -Tū the demoter of personages, Tūmatauenga defeated all his siblings in combat shortly after Tawhiri had tried to do the same.
