Why did kamikaze commit suicide?
It was intended as a War Sacrifice. There were also purpose-built one-man suicide submarines called Kaiten or ( Heaven-shakers) These aimed at an impact velocity of 45 knots and had a powerful warhead. See the book Suicide Submarine by Yutaka Yokota. The low valuation of human life by the Japanese led to all sorts of headstong and suicidal war tactics the Banzai charge- lit Attack charge, and others, and the virtual suicidal task force of the Battleship Yamato and several cruisers and destroyers. The Japanese Destroyer commander Hara, who wrote the Book Japanese Destroyer Captain, was on a light cruiser in this fruitless engagement. the die-hard hawks would rather go down blazing in Glory and sue for peace even after the lost battles of Okinawa , etc. the Second Battle of Okinawa saw the one-shot sortie of the Barttleship Yamato and her task group- which Commander Hara was in, and survived.

What is a banzai run?
A "banzai run" or "banzai charge" (バンザイ突撃) is the name given to a human wave-style attack by the Allied forces in World War II. The charge is when mounted infantry forces of the Imperial Japanese Army. The name Gyokusai (玉砕) was also applied to the charge.The charge is usually a suicidal attack launched to avoid capture, surrender, or perceived dishonor in a final attempt at maximizing the odds of winning in the face of usually superior forces, as was the case in WWII.The Allied troops applied the name "banzai charges" to these kind of attacks due to the Japanese Army's practice of shouting, "Tennōheika banzai!" (天皇陛下万歳！) as they execute the attack. It means, "May the Emperor reign for ten thousand years!"It's important to note that though Westerners used the world "banzai" to describe the attack, the Japanese never used the word this way. The word "banzai" (万歳) literally means "ten thousand years" in Japanese. It is a common expression that is used to celebrate long life in Japan, essentially wishing for something or someone to live for eternity in good health.

This battle cry caused the Allied forces to call them 'Banzai charges'.
