This paper is part of investigation about a Korean who worked and lived in the South Sea Islands during the 1920s and 1930s. Hijikata Hisakatsu who is well known as both a folklorist and an artist, has left a large amout of records about the South Sea Islands, and his book contains a story regarding Hwang Yeongsam. Hwang Yeongsam had moved to Satawal Island, which was notorious for its inconvenient transportation, and worked as a copra dealer in the area until he got murdered by the islanders. Half a year later, Hijikata and Sugiura Sasuke moved to the island to take over the copra business, living in his house. 　I reconstructed the image of Hwang Yeongsam based on the information presented in the book of Hijikata, and further dealt with some cases of Koreans who emigrated to the South Sea Islands and lived there as copra dealers. Also, based upon the activities of Hwang Yeongsam as well as Hijikata, the brokage of copra on the islands mobilizing the local inhabitants and part of the copra industry were recomposed as well.
