It is not on a plate boundary but in the middle of a plate. Kilauea has formed over a hot spot.
Islands can form at various types of plate boundaries, including divergent boundaries where tectonic plates move apart, convergent boundaries where plates collide, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other. Island formation is often influenced by volcanic activity associated with plate boundaries.
A diverging is the type of plate boundary that the Hekla volcano formed. Hekla last erupted in 2000. It is located in Iceland. ADDED. Also called a "constructive" plate boundary, because the upwelling magma adds rock to the edges of the two plates.
A hotspot volcano is formed at a weak spot in the middle of a plate. This type of volcano is not located near tectonic plate boundaries and is usually the result of a plume of hot mantle material rising towards the surface, creating a volcanic hotspot. Examples of hotspot volcanoes include the Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone National Park.
Volcano's are caused by the dense oceanic plate being sub ducted under the lighter continental plate, this causes immense pressure as the oceanic crust enters the mantle it melts, this magma is forced to create a chamber creating rock as it cools, this results in a volcano being formed, volcano's have to erupt occasionally to disperse the pressure that is built up by the oceanic plate going under and melting under the continental plate.

Mount Fuji, which is found in Japan is a type of island-arc volcano. It was formed by three plates, the Philippine plate, Eurasian plate and Okhotsk plate.
Constructive
The type of boundary that the Andes mountains are, in South America, is a convergent plate boundary. This was formed from the collision of the South American plate boundary and the Nazca plate.

it was a convergent of divergent because it is a stratovolcano
