I was thinking that I'll have to either change my flight into Japan into e.g. Tokyo to keep HNL in plan (I can see a few seats for HND --> HNL) or alternatively drop HNL and fly straight from KIX-->LAX

I think both options will incur a change fee, right? Any other issues I need to look out for?
Correct, either of those will incur the $125 change of ticketed points fee. That fee is per transaction not per change so if you have any other changes you want to make, do them all at once. If you've got the extra segments available, I'd just go via Tokyo, usually Class J is pretty widely available to HND, but you'll want the KIX flights if you only want to burn 1 extra segment (ITM would count as a ground segment if you arrived at KIX). I'm assuming you arrived via KIX?
