Kaima was the son of Kibwika, who was the son of Kibubuli Kifunvu,  the son of Kitaka, who was the son of Kintu, who came to Busoga  from the east.

Kifunvu was the father of Kibwika, Ibulabato, Mambala, Igombe, Kalikolaki, Kigoma, Muluwe, Igulu and many others. While Kibwika was at Bukonge, he had many children, among whom were Kaima and Kaluba.

Kaima had his own lands in Bunya, at Bukonge, which was given to him by his father, Kibwika. He fought and lost a battle against Luba at

Bukonge. After his defeat, Kaima sought refuge in Nambavu, Ntumba’s country. Ntumba was of the Mpindi clan and had been Kintu’s follower. Kaima behaved very cunningly and became very popular as a result. He was such a faithful worker that when he assumed the chieftainship at the death of Ntumba no one opposed him. He thus terminated the rule of members of the Mpindi clan.

It is worth noting the following;

1. Kaima had the following sons: - Igodi, Kibugo, Wakasaja, Kitampiga and Budanda. Kaima died and was buried at Buyodi, which name was derived from Igodi.

2. Igodi succeeded his father Kaima and has nothing to remember him by.

3. Kibugo succeeded his brother Igodi and has nothing to remember him  by.
