We report the discovery of the magnetic island formed in the locked-like mode in helical plasma. New analysis and observation techniques applied to the ECE signal and poloidal flow in LHD experiments show the following results.(i) The magnetic island structure is present. This indicates that the resistive interchange mode can induce the rotating magnetic island in the locking phase.(ii) The rotation speed of the island is not uniform in space. The toroidal structure of the island changes in the locking-phase, and the deformation increases till the mode is locked. These results are quite meaningful to understand the locked mode instability affecting the confinement.
