Kamikaze.
The first Kamikaze attack of the war begun on October 25, 1944. It was during the battle of leyte gulf when the japanese deployed kamikaze suicide bombers against american warships for the first time.
During WW2 the Japanese military code meant that it was an honor to die for your country. This was why Japanese pilots or Kamikaze pilots were willing to commit suicide by a military air attack.
The technique of the kamikaze was to crash their plane into their target. So they were on suicide missions. This technique was very successful in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
The first kamikaze attack happen on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor.
The Kamikaze attack tactic was suggested by vice-Admiral Onishi of the Japanese Navy, as he was assigned to command air attacks against huge American invasion fleet off the Philippines.
I believe the word you're thinking of is actually 'kamikaze'. What is a 'kamikaze'? During World War 2, the Japanese formed a group of men that were to crash their planes into ships carrying supplies for other countries. It was a suicide attack mission. They are remembered as 'kamikazes'.

Well Kamikazes were Japanese air force pilots who drove their air plains into their target with a bomb rigged to explode on contact killing themselves like a suicide bomber so a kamikaze tactic is practically suicide but i think it would be with a vehicle actually the last kamikaze attack i remember was the planes that flown into the towers on 9/11
The Japanese military code meant that it was an honour to die for one's country, usually via hari-kiri. This is what it meant to be a Kamikaze pilot - to suicide by a military air attack.
The first Kamikaze attacks were employed at the Battle for Leyte Gulf. It should be noted that this was the first time that planned suicide attacks had been made against US shipping. Individual pilots prior to this time may have employed this tactic.
