The Kapi`o student newspaper was first published by Kapi`olani Technical School when it was located at its old Honolulu campus on the corner of Pensacola Avenue and Kapi`olani Boulevard. In 1965 Kapi`olani Technical School realigned its programs and became part of the open door community college system of the University of Hawai`i and was renamed Kapi`olani Community College.

The only issue in this digital collection from the Technical School is Volume III, Issue 5,dated June 2, 1964. Kapi`o continued production through the decades and the last semester of print issues was Spring 2011. As of Fall 2013, Kapi`o continues mostly online through its college webpage and Kapiʻo platform. As of January 2022, Kapiʻo has started a monthly four page print edition, Kapiʻo News, that summarizes the month's highlights.
