The largest of the central Ryukyu Islands (7)

I believe the answer is:

okinawa

(Other definitions for okinawa that I've seen before include "American victory, June 1945" , "Region of southern Japan, scene of fierce fighting in 1945" , "coral island" , "island out east" , "Pacific island" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
