Mrs. Devi was born in 1940 as a native Japanese. Her original name was Nemoto Shichihoko. Her father was a low-status carpenter. In 1955, 15-year-old Shichihoko gave up her studies and worked as a geisha at the Imperial Hotel Club in Tokyo. She used the money she earned to support her younger brother's education. Although Devi later denied her experience as a geisha, her younger brother committed suicide in college because he could not understand what his sister was doing.
At the age of 19, Qibaozi was looking forward to the "big nobleman" in his life - Indonesian President Sukarno. In June 1959, when Sukarno visited Japan, he met the geisha Shichihoko in the bar of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. Although Qibaozi came from a humble background, he was naturally beautiful, enchanting and gorgeous. The two fell in love at first sight, especially when Qibaozi "looked back with a smile full of charm" when he said goodbye, Sukarno was even more confused. After returning from his trip, he impatiently called Qibaozi to go to Jakarta.
On September 15, 1959, Qibaozi set foot on Indonesian soil and directly entered the Presidential Palace. The 59-year-old Sukarno and the 19-year-old Chibaozi held a secret wedding ceremony at the Presidential Palace. The child was named Latona Sally Devi Sukarno. Devi became Sukarno's fourth wife. After their marriage, Sukarno built a magnificent palace for her on the outskirts of Jakarta and named the palace after Devi's deceased brother, Batsunan.
The good days did not last long, and a group of military officers launched a coup. Sukarno was imprisoned in the Bazang Men's Palace. Devi, who was already pregnant, had no choice but to flee to France. Until 1970, Devi sent a rescue letter to Sukarno disguised as a divorce agreement. At the critical moment, the old man did not understand the mystery and thought that the young Devi was going to abandon him. He fell ill and died four days later.
In January 1992, after Sukarno's death, she went to the United States, and later returned to Japan to settle. It is said that she still holds Indonesian citizenship. She often writes appalling claims on her blog "Devi Sukarno's Soliloquy".

"Pleasures in Private Life" and "Pleasant Life", it has been three years since she left. At this time, the only people accompanying the lonely old man on the sickbed were Mrs. Hatini and several of Farmawati's children. Sukarno was still deeply devoted to Devi even before his death.
