The Death of former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimoriwho governed the country between 1990 and 2000, has revealed intimate details of his personal life, until now unknown to the public. A recent report by the Punto Final program has exposed the deep relationship between Fujimori and Shinnosuke Kataokathe son of his last wife, Satomi Kataokawhom he considered his own son.
The bond between Fujimori and Shinnosuke, which came to light after his death, was described as an intense emotional bond of great affection. According to the report, Fujimori confessed to the young man physical and emotional pain which affected him in his final days, including the difficulties he had in falling asleep.

Shinnosuke’s figure also appears in a letter sent by Satomi Kataoka through intermediaries, Juan Zacarías and Patricia Zumaeta, who met her in Chile. This letter is the first public testimony that offers a glimpse into the intimate life of Fujimori, who had four children with his first wife, Susana HiguchiIn the letter, Kataoka reveals that she planned to travel to Peru to say goodbye to her husband, but was prevented from doing so due to her battle against cancer.

Satomi Kataoka, a Japanese businesswoman who met Fujimori during his exile in Japanwas devastated by the death of her husband and described him as a man “kind and honest”In the same letter, she thanked the former president for having taken care of her son Shinnosuke, and expressed her gratitude for the emotional and material support that Fujimori gave her during the difficult years of her exile and subsequent imprisonment in Peru.
The marriage between Fujimori, then 67, and Kataoka, 39, was considered a milestone in the life of the former dictator, who described it as “the happiest event of his life.” Kataoka, for her part, had promised to dedicate her life to protecting him. Now, following Fujimori’s death, there is speculation that she could become the recipient of the former president’s life pension, a question that is still being evaluated.
The marriage between Fujimori and Kataoka, which was publicly confirmed during a political rally in Lima, has added a new layer to the complex life story of the former dictator. While his four biological children maintain a public profile in Peruvian politics, this hidden relationship with Shinnosuke raises questions about what Fujimori’s personal life was really like in his later years.
