| Interesting Factoids | name means: "cool breeze over mountains" - (in a baby book we found it just said "Hawaiian - breeze" - does this mean the name is picking up in popularity?) |

| Keanu's nickname is "The Wall" which stems from his hockey/goalie past | |
| The huge scar running down Keanu's stomach, comes from a late night accident in Topanga Canyon in 1988. He was on a "demon ride" - riding at night without headlights - and he "ran into a mountain". Keanu broke ribs (and some teeth!) and ruptured his spleen. (In an article I read fairly recently, Keanu said he still has his spleen, and you can't buy it on ebay.) | |
