I don't know Shoko personally but have seen her a few times on Tulamben beach by the wreck. My deepest condolences goes out to all her family and friends, and may she rest in peace.

*For those of you who don't understand Indonesian, the title goes "suspected Japanese diver's body found in Sendangbiru beach in Malang prefecture, East Java." I apologize for not translate further...

PS: Although identity of the body has not been positively confirmed yet, I am just going by the news. Once again my heart goes out to all who are close to her. Being in the Indonesian dive industry and have once drifted for couple of hours myself before picked up, this one hits particularly close to heart.
 
Wow, an amazing distance for the body to drift. Hopefully it is her so that the family has some sort of closure.
 
Amazing that the last missing diver has been found at all ! At least they can lay her to rest now. I read that the captain of the boat has been arrested ....Sad to read about such bad endings to what was supposed to be enjoyable outings. Hopefully we all learn to dive very conservatively and safely.
