卡美哈美哈四世和卡美哈美哈五世曾请求日本提供工人。

卡美哈美哈四世国王在 1860 年提出了这一请求，当时日本驻美国使团在夏威夷停靠。使团收到了这封信，但日本当时正处于混乱时期，没有给出明确答复。

因此，卡美哈美哈五世国王通过夏威夷驻日本领事再次请求邀请日本工人。领事与德川幕府交涉，获得了 300 人的旅行许可。

但不久之后，德川幕府重新掌权，明治政府接管了此后的政治事务。明治政府以根本没有与夏威夷缔结有效条约为由，撕毁了盟约。

然而，第一批计划前往夏威夷的 153 名日本人已经聚集，这些人未经许可便前往夏威夷。他们成为夏威夷的第一批日本移民。

日本政府要求将这些日本人遣送回国，或至少给予他们更好的待遇，经过协商，40 名日本人被遣送回国。在这次旅行之后的一年里，至少有 56 人返回了日本，因为他们认为自己受到的待遇与旅行时所承诺的不同。

直到两年后，日本和夏威夷才签订了贸易条约。

日本人直到 1886 年才正式移民夏威夷。政府为移民提供了大约八年的便利。这使得日本移民的总人数达到 29,000 人。

之所以选择日本人作为移民，是因为在他们之前移民的中国人名声不好。中国移民的留住率很低，而且他们开办了相互竞争的企业，这在居民中的印象更加糟糕。此外，夏威夷成为美国的一部分，美国的反华移民法也适用于夏威夷，这也是华人移民减少的原因之一。然而，由于关税的取消和其他因素，夏威夷已成为世界上主要的甘蔗出口国之一，因此需要劳动力。

此后，移民服务将外包给私营部门，政府移民班也将结束。换句话说，日本政府在夏威夷的介入到此结束。

至于日本皇室与夏威夷的关系，卡拉卡瓦国王于 1881 年访问日本时，曾要求将其侄女凯乌拉妮公主嫁入日本皇室。

如果这桩婚事真的发生了，那也是一个 13 岁的孩子和一个 5 岁的孩子之间的事。

明治政府拒绝了这一请求，称其没有能力接受这一请求。

Did the Hawaiian Kingdom ask Meiji Japan for help due to the American invasion? Did the Hawaiian Kingdom propose marriage to the Japanese Imperial family? Why didn't Japan send troops to help the Hawaiian Kingdom?

Lives in Japan (1984–present)2h

Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V have requested Japan to provide workers.

King Kamehameha IV made the request in 1860, when a Japanese mission to the United States made a port call in Hawaii. The mission received the letter, but Japan was in a period of confusion and did not give a clear answer.

Therefore, King Kamehameha V, through the Hawaiian Consul in Japan, again requests the invitation of Japanese workers. The consul negotiates with the Tokugawa Shogunate and obtains permission to travel for 300 people.

Soon after, however, the Tokugawa Shogunate returned to power, and the Meiji government took over political affairs thereafter. The Meiji government broke the covenant on the grounds that no valid treaty with Hawaii had been concluded at all.

However, the first 153 Japanese who were scheduled to travel had gathered, and these people left for Hawaii without authorization. They became the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii.

The Japanese government demanded that the Japanese be sent home or at least treated better, and 40 were sent home as a result of this negotiation. In the year following the trip, at least 56 people returned to Japan because they believed their treatment was different from what they had been promised at the time of the trip.

It was not until two years later that a trade treaty was signed between Japan and Hawaii.

Japanese did not officially immigrate to Hawaii until 1886. The government facilitated immigration for approximately eight years. This brings the total number of Japanese immigrants to 29,000.

The Japanese were chosen as immigrants because of the poor reputation of the Chinese who had immigrated before them. The retention rate of Chinese immigrants was poor, and they started competing businesses, which worsened the impression among residents. In addition, the fact that Hawaii became part of the U.S. and the U.S. anti-Chinese immigration laws were applied to Hawaii also contributed to the decline in Chinese immigration. However, Hawaii had become one of the world's leading exporters of sugarcane, due to the elimination of tariffs and other factors, and labor was needed.

After this, immigration services will be outsourced to the private sector and government immigration classes will end. In other words, this is the end of Japanese government involvement in Hawaii.

As for the relationship between the Japanese Imperial Family and Hawaii, when King Kalakaua visited Japan in 1881, he requested that his niece, Princess Kaiulani, be married into the Japanese Imperial Family.

If the marriage had taken place, it would have been between a 13-year-old and a 5-year-old.

The Meiji government turned down this request, saying that it did not have the capacity to accept the request.
