PROXY STATEMENT
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy first are being sent to
shareholders on or about March 29, 1996, for use in connection with the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders of Hawaii National Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancshares") to be
held on Tuesday, April 16, 1996. Only those shareholders of record of Bancshares
issued and outstanding common stock at the close of business on March 29, 1996
shall be entitled to notice of the meeting and to vote. The number of shares of
common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Shareholders'
Meeting is 711,000.
The enclosed Proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors
of Bancshares and the costs of solicitation will be borne by Bancshares. In
addition to the use of the mails, solicitation may be made, without additional
compensation, by directors and officers of Bancshares and regular employees of
Hawaii National Bank ("HNB" or the "Bank"), by telephone, telecopier, telegraph
and personal interview. Bancshares will reimburse brokers, nominees and similar
recordholders for reasonable expenses in mailing proxy material to beneficial
owners.
If the enclosed Proxy is duly executed and received in time for the meeting,
it is the intention of the persons named therein to vote the shares represented
by the Proxy for the five nominees listed, unless otherwise directed. Any proxy
given by a shareholder may be revoked before its exercise by notice to
Bancshares in writing, by a subsequently dated proxy, or in open meeting prior
to the taking of the shareholder vote. The shares represented by properly
executed proxies which are not revoked will be voted in accordance with the
specifications therein.
On each matter that comes before the meeting, each shareholder will have one
vote for each share of stock held, except that cumulative voting may be required
in the election of directors. Hawaii law requires use of cumulative voting in
the election of directors if, not less than 48 hours prior to the time fixed for
the meeting, any shareholder delivers a request therefor to an officer of
Bancshares. Under cumulative voting, each shareholder present in person or by
proxy may cast a number of votes equal to the number of his shares multiplied by
the number of directors to be elected. The shareholder may cast all of such
votes for a single director or may distribute them among the number to be voted
for, or any two or more of them, as he sees fit. The nominees receiving the
highest number of votes on the foregoing basis, up to the total number of
directors to be elected, will be the successful nominees. If cumulative voting
is requested, the holders of management proxies will vote the proxies received
by them cumulatively in such manner as is determined by them at that time.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors of Bancshares may establish certain standing
committees, including an Executive Committee and Audit Committee. Presently,
Bancshares has no standing committees. However, the Examining Committee of HNB,
Bancshares' sole subsidiary, effectively serves as the Audit Committee for
Bancshares.
There were five meetings of the Board of Directors of Bancshares during
1995. All of the foregoing nominees attended at least 75% of the meetings of the
Board during 1995.
Among the standing committees of HNB are the Examining Committee, Community
Reinvestment Act Committee ("CRA") and the Executive Committee. Neither
Bancshares nor HNB have nominating committees.
The Examining Committee of HNB, which met five times during 1995,
determines on behalf of the Board whether the performance and examination of the
independent public accounting firm and the internal HNB Audi-
4
<PAGE> 7
tor are satisfactory and adequate to meet the Board's supervisory
responsibility. The Committee reviews internal auditing procedures, the adequacy
of internal financial and accounting controls, the work of the external and
internal auditors and management's responses to their audit reports and
recommendations. The members of the Examining Committee are Messrs. Lawrence
Kunihisa (Chairman), Arthur S. K. Fong, Tan Tek Lum and Gordon Mau.
The Executive Committee of HNB met three times during 1995. The Committee
acts from time to time between Board meetings, but its actions are subject to
Board approval. The members of the Committee are Messrs. Arthur S. K. Fong
(Chairman), Lawrence Kunihisa, K. J. Luke, Warren K. K. Luke and Tan Tek Lum.
The Compensation Committee is a subcommittee of the Executive Committee which is
composed of independent, nonemployee directors. The Committee reviews the
performance, salaries, and benefit plans of executive officers and directors.
The members of the Committee are Messrs. Arthur S. K. Fong (Chairman), Lawrence
Kunihisa and Tan Tek Lum.
The CRA Committee of HNB met four times during 1995. The Committee reviews
the Bank's CRA policies and activities and monitors the Bank's contacts,
communications and involvement in projects and organizations affecting low and
moderate income areas in the community. The Bank actively seeks interchange with
organizations and members of the community regarding ways in which the credit
needs of these areas can be better served. The long-term benefits of the Bank's
lending policy on student loans, loans to new entrepreneurs, small businesses,
young professionals, and low-income housing programs to help build a better and
more profitable community are part of its objectives. The members of the
committee are Messrs. Tan Tek Lum (Chairman), Lawrence Kunihisa, William Chee
and Gordon J. Mau.
All of the members of the Board of Directors of HNB receive a fee of $100
per month plus $250 for each meeting attended. Additionally, nonemployee
directors of the Discount (Loan), Examining and Executive committees of the
Board of Directors of HNB receive a fee of $100 per month for each of the
committees on which they serve, and members of the Discount and CRA committees
also receive $100 per meeting attended. No separate directors fees are paid by
Bancshares.

Bancshares and HNB have not granted any options or other forms of long-term
incentive awards and, consequently, no such options or awards are outstanding.
PENSION PLAN
HNB has a noncontributory pension plan. As of December 31, 1995, HNB's
Employees' Retirement Plan had 230 participating employees in the Plan. The Plan
is funded annually. HNB policy is to fund pension costs using an actuarial
basis, which includes past service and current cost. As such, it cannot
determine the actual contributions allocated to each of the above-listed
individuals. Under this Plan, employees are required to complete one full year
of service before being eligible to be a member of the Plan. In order to be
fully vested, a participant must complete five years of service with HNB.
Benefits become effective upon an employee's retirement at the normal retirement
age of 65 years. The Plan also offers employees various options with respect to
the manner of receiving retirement benefits. Under specific circumstances,
employees who have attained certain ages and lengths of service may retire early
at reduced benefits. In 1995 HNB's contribution to the Retirement Plan
represented 5.66% of the total remuneration paid to the Plan's participants.

The above table shows the estimated annual retirement benefit payable on a
straight-life annuity basis to participating employees, including the named
executive officers, for the average annual salary and years of service
classification indicated. The benefits indicated in the table are not subject to
Social Security deductions or other offset amounts. Under the Plan, covered
compensation consists solely of salary and excludes overtime and bonuses. Please
refer to the "Summary Compensation Table" for a 3 year history of the salaries
paid or accrued by HNB for Messrs. K. J. Luke, Warren K. K. Luke, and Ernest T.
Murata.
As of December 31, 1995, the credited years of service under the Plan for
Messrs. Warren K. K. Luke, and Ernest T. Murata were 23 and 33 years,
respectively. K. J. Luke, who has 35 years of credited service, is presently
receiving annual payments of $24,204 under the Plan.

<PAGE> 10
Effective January 1, 1994, HNB established a nonqualified and unfunded
supplemental executive retirement plan ("SERP"). The SERP is intended to
supplement payments due to participants upon retirement under HNB's existing
pension plan. The SERP provides for a payment of up to 70% of the participant's
average earnings over a specified three year period. This amount is reduced by
amounts payable to the participant under HNB's pension plan and social security
benefits. The amount may be further reduced in the event of early retirement
prior to age 68. Presently, Mr. Ernest T. Murata is the only participant in the
SERP.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee administers the compensation program for
executive officers of Bancshares and HNB. The objective of the program is to
attract and retain qualified executives and to reward them for their
achievements and contributions to Bancshares and HNB.
The Committee believes that the optimal compensation plan should motivate
executives to look ahead to the future, as opposed to focusing on short-term
performance. In keeping with this philosophy, HNB's compensation packages
encourage teamwork, qualitative contributions, and long range planning. While
bonuses are linked to achievements, base compensation is structured to provide
executive officers with salaries that are competitive with those paid by other
banks in Hawaii, taking into account differences in asset size, financial
condition, and other relevant factors. Since Bancshares' stock is inactively
traded and the company's strategy is to generate capital through retention of
earnings, return on shareholders' equity and the current year's results are not
significant factors in establishing salaries or bonuses; however, they are
considered.
K. J. Luke is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Bancshares and the founder and Chairman of the Board of HNB. He has guided HNB
for 35 years, from its beginnings as a one bank office on King and Smith Streets
to the present day, as a full service bank with 12 branch locations. His wisdom
and knowledge of banks and banking is invaluable. Warren K. K. Luke is President
and Director of Bancshares and Vice Chairman of the Board, President and Chief
Executive Officer of HNB. He manages the day to day operations of Bancshares and
HNB and leads both companies in strategic planning. Warren K. K. Luke has
significantly enhanced HNB's visibility in the community through his
participation in numerous civic, nonprofit, and professional activities, on both
a local and national level.
In determining Messrs. K. J. Luke's and Warren K. K. Luke's base
compensation for 1995, the Committee considered the above factors. It also
utilized a survey of salaries paid to CEOs of banks in Hawaii with assets
ranging between $798.8 million and $11.3 billion. The salaries paid to Messrs.
K. J. Luke and Warren K. K. Luke in 1995 were consistent with HNB's ranking in
the survey in terms of asset size. Except for HNB, none of the banks included in
this study were represented in the Unlisted Independent Bank

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee is a subcommittee of the Executive Committee of
the Board of Directors. The Committee consists of three independent, outside
directors: Messrs. Arthur S. K. Fong, Lawrence Kunihisa, and Tan Tek Lum. None
of these individuals is or has been employed as an officer of Bancshares or HNB.
Tan Tek Lum is the brother-in-law of Carolyn Luke, the wife of Warren K. K.
Luke. While K. J. Luke and Warren K. K. Luke are members of the Executive
Committee, they are not members of the Compensation Committee. Neither of these
individuals are involved in matters relating to their own or each others
compensation.
RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During 1995, directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and many
of their associates (i.e. certain relatives and corporations and other entities
in which such persons have a significant interest) of Bancshares and HNB were
customers of HNB. It is anticipated that such directors, officers, principal
shareholders and their associates will continue to be customers of HNB in the
future. All transactions between HNB and directors, executive officers,
principal shareholders and their associates were made in the ordinary course of
business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, collateral
and repayment terms on extensions of credit, as those prevailing at the same
time for comparable transactions with other persons. In the opinion of
management, such transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
HNB leases its office space for its headquarters building at King and Smith
Streets from K. J. L. Associates, an affiliate of directors K. J. Luke and
Warren K. K. Luke. The lease has a term until December 31, 2039 and requires
fixed annual rents of $1,025,445 from January 1, 1995 until December 31, 1997;
and rent thereafter is to be fixed for each of the fifteen succeeding 3-year
periods by agreement or, failing agreement, by arbitration.
HNB leases office, supply and storage space for its Airport Branch and
general operations from Industrial Investors, Inc., an affiliate of director
Warren K. K. Luke. The lease requires the payment of fixed annual rents of
$187,733 from January 1, 1993 until December 31, 1997; $207,988 from January 1,
1998 until December 31, 2002; and rent thereafter is to be fixed for the
succeeding 10-year period by agreement, or failing agreement by arbitration.
All of the lease and sublease payments described above are in addition to
insurance, taxes, maintenance, and utility payments.
The Boards of Directors of Bancshares and HNB believe that the lease terms
discussed above are as favorable to HNB as those which could have been
obtainable in transactions with persons or companies not affiliated with
Bancshares or HNB.

HNB utilizes the firm of Loyalty Insurance Agency, Ltd. in placing HNB's
insurance, which includes a variety of standard HNB insurance, such as,
fidelity, liability, fire, etc. Mr. Warren K. K. Luke, a director and officer of
Bancshares and HNB, is also a director of Loyalty Insurance Agency, Ltd. and its
parent company, Loyalty Enterprises, Ltd. Mr. K. J. Luke, a director and officer
of Bancshares and HNB, is also a principal shareholder of Loyalty Enterprises,
Ltd. The Board of Directors of HNB believes that the selection of surety
companies and the pricing of the premiums are as favorable as would be
obtainable with other insurance firms. During 1995, HNB paid an aggregate
premium of $255,154 to such firm. HNB plans to continue to utilize the agency
during 1996.
HNB uses the firm of Computer Systems International, Ltd. ("CSI") to
provide data processing services. CSI is a bank service company formed to
provide data processing services to financial institutions, including HNB. At
December 31, 1995, HNB and Loyalty Investments (an affiliate of Chairman of the
Board, K. J. Luke), each owned a 50% interest in CSI. Messrs. K. J. Luke, Warren
K. K. Luke and Ernest Murata are officers and directors of CSI. Charges to HNB
for data processing services provided by CSI during 1995 were $690,000. The
Board of Directors of HNB believes that the data processing services provided by
CSI were on terms comparable with those that could have been obtained from
unaffiliated parties.
PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND OWNERSHIP OF STOCK
BY OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF BANCSHARES
PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
In accordance with applicable SEC rules the following table sets forth
those persons who owned beneficially, directly or indirectly, more than 5
percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Bancshares stock as of January
31, 1996. Such rules require not only the disclosure of shares over which an
individual holds sole voting and investment power, but also shares over which
such individual shares voting and investment power. As a consequence, and as
indicated in the footnotes below, in many instances this results in duplication
in the numbers and percentages reported in the table. In the aggregate, members
of the Luke family and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 86% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Bancshares stock as of January 31, 1996.
