How many kamikaze airplanes were involved in the attack of Pearl Harbor?
There were 353 planes total used during the attack on Pearl Harbor. However, NONE OF THEM were kamikaze missions. Kamikaze missions did not begin until late in the war 1943-44 or later. However, there are some anecdotal accounts of planes crashing into ships during the Pearl Harbor attack, but these were not kamikaze pilots. Rather, some Japanese pilots decided that, if their planes were badly damaged and their lives were therefore to be lost anyway, then they would fly into an enemy target instead of diving into the sea. They did not have the intention of being kamikazes. Rather, they agreed to strike an enemy target instead of crashing into the ocean. For example, First Lieutenant Fusata Iida told his comrades that he planned to fly into a "worthy enemy target" if his plane was irreparably damaged and the alternative was to crash into the sea. Either way, he would be dead. This is very different from "kamikaze." Kamikaze missions sent pilots (well trained ones at that) into the air with the sole purpose of crashing into an enemy target. Kamikaze wasn't a last ditch effort on the part of a pilot who was going down anyway. Kamikaze pilots intended to commit suicide before taking off.

Samurai were a class of person in Japan, when the samurai class was disbanded, so was its way of life.

Who is Kamikaze?
Kamikaze is what the Japanese called a weather pattern surrounding their island.
