LA-ICP-MS U–Pb and Hf isotope analysis was conducted on zircons from the metamorphic unit of Omo Formation and a granodorite body of Tokunoshima in the Amami Islands, Southwest Japan. Zircons from dioritic gneiss (S9, S46) and pelitic schist (S99) yielded Paleoproterozoic upper intercept and Early Jurassic lower intercept ages. The positive ε Hf (t) values of the Paleoproterozoic zircons (between +12.7 and 0.8) and the negative ε Hf (t) values of the Jurassic zircons (−19.6 and −22.8) indicate Early Jurassic reworking of the older continental crust. The results suggest that the Omo Formation is an eastern equivalent of Cathaysia of the South China block. Zircons from granodiorite (S62) yielded a  206 Pb/ 238 U mean age of 61.3 ± 1.0 Ma with positive ε Hf (t) values of +12.0 and +12.6. The ε Hf (t) values indicate juvenile magmatic activity, which is correlated with that in the San-in batholith belt of Southwest Japan. Dioritic gneiss (S30) and psammitic schist (P91) yielded zircon U–Pb ages comparable to that of granodiorite (S62) with positive ε Hf (t) values (from +6.4 to +10.4). This suggests that the intrusion of the granodiorite induced the crystallization of zircon grains in the host rocks.
