In the Japanese article it just says something like "the owner of the property" and it isn't written in detail.

After reading an another Japanese article, it is written that a Taiwanese bought the whole Sotobanari island around 1985 to pray for the many Taiwanese coal miners who died in the island, but the owner was unfortunately killed in Taiwan in 2013.

I think that the relatives of this owner now own the island and wanted to do some farming on the island.
