Si Bung dan Dua Gadis Jepang
AWAL Indonesia bergolak. Di Jakarta dan kota-kota besar lainnya, ribuan demonstran nyaris tiap hari tumpah ruah ke jalanan. Selain menuntut penurunan harga, rombak kabinet dan pembubaran PKI (Partai Komunis Indonesia), mereka pun mengeritik tingkah polah Presiden Sukarno yang dinilai tidak peka terhadap penderitaan rakyat. Salah satu yang dikritik mahasiswa adalah kebiasaan Bung Karno memiliki banyak istri.
Dalam Angkatan Sebuah Catatan Harian Mahasiswa karya Yozar Anwar disebutkan bagaimana pada 9 Februari , serombongan mahasiswa Jakarta berparade dalam dandanan ala geisha (perempuan penghibur Jepang) lengkap dengan o-icho (sanggul tradisional Jepang) dan kimono khas-nya. Di dada mereka sebuah poster tergantung dengan tulisan yang berbunyi: “Gundik-Gundik Impor”
Kata-kata di poster itu sangat jelas ditujukan kepada Bung Karno. Seperti sudah umum diketahui, selain memiliki istri-istri pribumi, Sukarno pun mengambil seorang gadis Jepang bernama Naoko Nemoto menjadi pendamping hidupnya. Namun rupanya Naoko Nemoto bukanlah perempuan Jepang pertama yang hadir dalam hidup Bung Karno. Menurut seorang penulis Jepang bernama Masashi Nishihara, em
Dewi Sukarno
Dewi Sukarno, nee Naoko Nemoto, 68, is the widow of Indonesia's first president, Sukarno. When she married him in , the then year-old Japanese beauty was no accidental Cinderella: From age 5, she had meticulously prepared herself for a leading role in history. Much like Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the 16th-century daimyo who catapulted himself from humble beginnings to the nation's most powerful post, the cultivated Dewi rose to the challenge to support Sukarno's nation-building. The pair established strong ties between Japan and Indonesia, but following assassination attempts, a military coup and ultimately her husband's death in , Dewi went into exile from Indonesia. By the '80s, though, she was back in Jakarta working on major deals for American and European engineering and construction contractors. After 40 years abroad, in , she moved to Tokyo, where she runs several companies and charities, and a household where 11 dogs chase staff and guests around.
Words will capture a woman's heart faster than riches. I could have married many wealthy men before I met Sukarno. But he asked me to be his inspiration, his strength, and the joy of his life. I knew I would never

Dewi Sukarno
(Tokyo, )
One of the most outspoken, and for many people probably one of the most hated, celebrities on Japanese TV is Dewi Sukarno. Usually referred to as Dewi Fujin (Madame Dewi), she can always be relied on to add a juicy bit of snootiness or slander to a variety show. The Japanese equivalent of Jacqueline Kennedy or Imelda Marcos, she's a vibrant and opinionated woman who has been at the side of a world leader, knows everyone worth knowing, and loves to tell you about it. In her own words, "I speak too directly. I can't speak diplomatically. I think people are afraid of what I am going to say."
Born Naoko Nemoto, she was working days in an insurance company and nights as a hostess at the Kokusai Club in Akasaka, a place for foreign VIPs. It was there that a fateful meeting with a powerful world leader changed her life. In , at the tender age of 19, she left Japan to become the third of the nine wives of Achmed Sukarno, the president of The Republic of Indonesia. Her full married name was Ratna Sari Dewi Sukarno and the couple had a daughter, Kartika. Sukarno was ousted from power in and placed under house arrest the following year, where he r
