Okinawa Zoo & Museum蕙蕙质兰心蕙质兰心The Ryukyu Islanders in Okinawa were descendants of Polynesian immigrants and former Japanese populations, belonging to the South Island area of Kyushu before the Southern Song Dynasty, and later became independent of the Ryukyu Kingdom. China's Ming Dynasty quoted Taiwan's old list of rulers to be the king of Ryukyu, hundreds of years after Ryukyu separated the Kyushu mainland, a trade hub for neighboring countries because of waterways. By the end of the 19th century, the Ryukyu State had been recaptured by Samoto of Kagoshima. In 1879, after the Meiji Reconstruction, the Ryukyu State was incorporated into Japan, and Okinawa Prefecture was established the same year. After World War II, the United States occupied it. In 1972, the United States returned the Ryukyu Islands to Japan.
