*''Japanese'': 与論島 ''(Yoronjima, Yorontô)''
Yoronjima is the southernmost of the [[Amami Islands]], within the broader [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryukyu archipelago]]. It lies to the south of [[Okinoerabujima]], and north of [[Okinawa Island]].
Yoron was subordinated under the authority of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]] after X year. Though the [[Shimazu clan]] invasion forces from [[Satsuma han]] which conquered and subordinated the kingdom in [[1609]] skipped Yoron, never landing forces there during the [[invasion of Ryukyu|invasion]], Yoron nevertheless came to be administered directly by Satsuma (while remaining officially regarded as part of the kingdom's territory) along with the rest of the Amamis. The ''[[daikan]]'' appointed by Satsuma to oversee Amami Ôshima had his authority extended to Okinoerabu and Yoron in [[1690]].<ref>Ono Masako, Tomita Chinatsu, Kanna Keiko, Taguchi Megumi, "Shiryô shôkai Kishi Akimasa bunko Satsuyû kikô," ''Shiryôhenshûshitsu kiyô'' 31 (2006), 244.</ref>
After the [[Meiji government]] dismantled the [[han|domains]] in [[1871]], Yoron became a part of [[Kagoshima prefecture]]. Following World War II, the Amami Islands were restored to Japanese sovereignty (ending the US Occupation in the islands) on December 25, 1953, roughly 19 years before Okinawa Island and the southerly portions of the Ryukyus.<ref>Richard Siddle, "Return to Uchinâ," in Siddle and Glenn Hook (eds.), ''Japan and Okinawa: Structure and Subjectivity'', Routledge Curzon (2002), 135.</ref>
