Senator Daniel Inouye has died.

. . . and incoming (freshman) Senator Mazie ("Meiji") Hirono will become Hawai'i's senior senator after Daniel Akaka retires at the end of 2012.
Edit (December 23): Rethinking that, now: if Gov. Neil Abercrombie appoints Inouye's replacement before Dec. 31, then that replacement will become Hawai'i's senior senator, and Hirono will be their junior senator.
