Since there seems to be no information from anyone

In the U.S., where demand for cars is high, "leasing" is more popular than in Japan. Leasing a car, which is also common in Hawaii, is a system similar to renting a car for a long period of time, where you only pay for the depreciation, or the period of time you lease the car within the price of that car.

The lease term is usually 3 to 5 years, depending on how long you plan to stay in Hawaii as an exchange student.

You will need a driver's license, SSN ( Social Security Number ), and credit history in the U.S. You are also required to have insurance. Insurance is also required. There are agencies in Honolulu that can help you purchase insurance for Japanese people.

Another is a car share called HUI.

To car share,
first create an account on their website,
reservations are made through the app ( free )

・ 19 years or older with a US license ・ 25 years old or older with international driver's license
・ 18 months or more since obtaining driver's license
Less than 3 minor violations within 18 months

・ No serious violations in the past 3 years

Insurance and gasoline included

$12.00 per hour
$125.00 per day

You can rent a car at Ala Moana, airport, Kaimuki, Waikiki, etc.

I don't think it's possible to lease to an international student, do you have Social Security # ?

If not, it's not possible.
