Yolina is the male protagonist of the Imdeduya myth, recorded in several oral variants and in song. Hearing of the beauty of Imdeduya, he announces his intention to marry her and sets out on a long voyage, stopping at village after village along the island chain, where in the sung versions his arrival is greeted with a recurring refrain, until he reaches Imdeduya's home and wins her. The later course of the story turns the celebrated love into estrangement and sorrow, which is why Gunter Senft, its principal editor, calls it a myth of love and hate. Yolina's voyage, mapped island by island in the appendices to Senft's edition, mirrors the geography of Kula seafaring, and the figure was reimagined in John Kasaipwalova's modern epic poem 'Sail the Midnight Sun'.
