Narrative:

First flight of the day landing in kona. We received landing clearance to runway 17 about 17 miles from the airport. Normal landing and deployed thrust reversers. Approaching H taxiway between 90-80 knots; saw cessna on the same runway about to exit H taxiway. The aircraft was left of the centerline about to exit the runway and I immediately veered off right of the centerline to avoid collision. First officer immediately questioned kona tower about the aircraft but they were not aware of the situation. Tower attempted to contact the unidentified aircraft as we made a normal exit through C taxiway. After several attempts; the unidentified aircraft responded with; 'we almost got run over; what's going on?' after shutdown; I called koa tower and confirmed via the tape that the cessna landed without clearance. Neither of us in the cockpit saw this aircraft until after landing and approaching H taxiway. Tower personnel on duty did not notice unidentified aircraft landing ahead of us.
