About this person
Born Naoko Nemoto on February 6, 1940, she left Japan and married Sukarno, Indonesia's first president, becoming one of his wives. After his fall from power, she returned to Japan and built a second career as a socialite and businesswoman. By the time television found her, she had become a fixture of the talk-show circuit, known less for politics than for the sheer fact of the life she had lived. She remains a presence on Japanese screens, where the honorific stuck - Dewi Fujin, Lady Dewi - a title that doubles as a reminder and a brand.
