If you drop the KIX HND leg, it will reprice the ticket to whatever is applicable plus change fees. Typically flying with a connection to your destination is cheaper, and they are going to recoup that difference. You are on booking class I, which is not the most flexible one out there, so changes are likely going to cost you a pretty penny. But the devil is in the details of the specific fare rules.
