| Minami Daito is the largest of the Daito Islands located in Shimajiri district, Okinawa, Japan.
The island was originally named South Borodino Island after being discovered by the Russian marine vessel Borodino in 1820.
In 1899 a pioneering team from Hachijo Island became the first human inhabitants of the island, using the land to grow sugarcane. A freight train system was established and later dismantled in favor of contemporary transportation.
The island is in the subtropical zone and was formed out of coral reef. With the exception of neighboring Kita Daito, there is no inhabited land within 400km of Minami Daito. It is moving north at the rate of approximately 7cm per year.
