Perhaps you are referring to Kamikaze. Kamikaze were Japanese pilots who during WWII would intentionally fly their planes into US warships and commit suicide.
From before the time of the Samurai, considering surrender to be the ultimate dishonour to family and emperor, it was part of the Japanese creed to sacrifice oneself for the victory and honour of the emperor. It guaranteed the fighter a place in heaven. Much like the manipulative promises made to the terrorist of today.The Japanese 205th Air Group were the elite, the divine wind; Kamikaze. Based on the maxim that it is most efficient to kill many with one, the pilots developed an ethos within their number that they, the elite, could turn the war in the emperor's favour by sacrificing themselves to destroy their enemy; using one pilot to destroy a ship, it's crew and all it carried. The term Kamikaze was adopted by the west to label this activity. The word also came to include human torpedoes and suicide bombers.
The 'Banzai' battle cry literally means 'ten thousand years'. A familiar contraction in Japan of 'Tenno Heika Banzai!'; May the Emperor reign 10,000 years. The final exhortation.
