Roko Malani (died 1833)[1] was high chief of the Fijian island of Lakeba.[2] He held the title Tui Nayau[3] (paramount chief of the Lau Islands) and was a popular chief.[4] He increased the influence the island of Lakeba had in Fiji.[4]
The first Christian missionaries arrived in Fiji in 1830 at Malani's request,[5] these were three Tahitian missionaries of the London Missionary Society.[5]
Malani's younger brother,[6] Taliai Tupou, succeeded him as Tui Nayau after Malani's death in 1833.[6][1] Malani's son, Vuetasau, was among the first Fijians to convert to Christianity.[7]
