Not all kamikaze were Frances. Frances was the Allied code-name for a particular type of Japanese bomber. The Japanese used many different types of aircraft as kamikaze planes, such as Zero, Kate, Val, Betty, Sally, Tony, Tojo, George, Frank, etc. Female names were used for bombers & recon, and male names for fighter aircraft.

Ironically,the use of the Kamikaze was self-defeating for Japan.The percentage of planes which actually hit their intended target was small. Many were shot -down before reaching the targeted ship,or simply missed by misjudging the dive angle. In any case the pilot would die and of course would be of no further value to his country.

Why did the Kama Kazi fly directly into ships?
The Japanese military were running out of men, ships, planes, tanks, ammunition, and ordnance (bombs & artillery shells). In order to "make hits count", rather than have miss's or shot down aircraft before they even reached a target...it was decided to "Guide the bombs to their targets", via a pilot. Unlike a traditional pilot flying to his target, releasing his bombs, then flying away...the traditional pilot RISKs being shot down. A Kamikaze Pilot "normally" can strike his target even if "shot down." He can guide his crashing airplane (with it's bomb still attached to the airplane) into it's target. Therefore; the Kamikaze HAD TO BE DESTROYED IN THE AIR, rather than being simply shot down. The Kamikaze was simply a "Manned" guided missile.
