Steve is a seasoned traveller and frequent poster so he wanted to know the exact route since your routing is unusual.
So, you are going LAX-TPE-KIX or LAX-(DL Codeshare)-HNL-CI-NRT-something else-KIX?
If you look in this forum for past postings, you will see many references to China Airlines.

One more thing: China Airlines (CI) is the national "flag" carrier of Taiwan, and has as much to do with China as American Airlines has to do with the U.K. Well, even less since China Airlines doesn't even fly to mainland China.
Air China is the national airline of the People's Republic of China.

CI uses only its B738 on the TPE-OKA (Okinawa) and TPE-SPK (Sapporo) runs. A333, which has the new upgraded business class seats, is used on TPE-KIX (Osaka Kansai) and TPE-NGO (Nagoya). For NRT, a combination of B744 and A343 are used.

BTW, CI also uses the B738 on TPE-HIJ (Hiroshima), and the A333 on TPE-FUK (Fukuoka). The new A333 has the new style biz seats. The A343 doesn't.
