I've tried with google but there's no hit with a Japanese island called "tomina" (I searched in Japanese language.)
I wonder if it is misspelt or something. Are you sure about the name and the spelling?

ahm, there was a board shown in the movie that says "Tomina Island"..so i think it's not a fictional place or something..i saw it in the movie "Water Boys Summer 2005"..

It is a fictional island. The filming was done on three different islands (奄美大島/Amamioh-shima・加計呂麻島/Kakeroma-shima・喜界島/Kikaiga-shima）.

Here's a link to a wiki page for the Amami Islands.
