I have a Chamorro coworker who had a whole rant on how Hawaiian pizza should have spam instead of ham and how awesome spam is. I think it’s safe to add the people of Guam to your list.
From Hawaii. This isn’t Spam, this is luncheon meat. Or veggie luncheon meat. Sorry to be so snobby about canned meat products, but you can take my Spam from my cold, dead hands. I’ll give you all my luncheon meat.
Probably Hawaiian/Filipino diaspora. Those guys love spam, to the extent of innovating fusion dishes centered around it.

I mean now that I’m thinking of it, that’d be absolutely right, only way to make it more Hawaiian would be to find a way to get some tarro on it too.
My guess is the only reason ham was used is because it was made up before spam caught on.
Also the guy who did it was Canadian, so non zero chance he was just pulling the recipe out of his own ass.
