After World War II, the U.S. military forcibly seized land in Okinawa, forcing many local communities to relocate. Among them was Ginowan, where residents lost their homes due to the construction of Futenma Air Base. Even after decades of displacement, many former residents and their descendants still long to return to their ancestral land. This study focuses on how forcibly displaced people have maintained their cultural and historical identity despite physical separation and examines why they continue to seek return. Through interviews with displaced individuals and historical analysis, this research reveals how land dispossession disrupts not only economic stability but also social and cultural connections. Additionally, by comparing Okinawa’s case with other instances of forced displacement, such as Palestinian refugees and the Chagossians, the study highlights the universal nature of this issue. It argues that the recognition of the right of return is essential for identity and justice for displaced Okinawans. Furthermore, it examines community-led resistance efforts through the preservation of traditional rituals and cultural heritage. Ultimately, this study calls for a re-evaluation of Japanese and U.S. land expropriation policies and the expansion of U.S. military bases in Okinawa.
