Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
Place the pork cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over the pork. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Soak wooden skewers in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning (if using metal skewers, this step is unnecessary).
Preheat the grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill with cooking spray.
Thread the marinated pork cubes, pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, until the pork is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the teriyaki pork kebabs as-is or alongside steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
