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.

Why did kamikaze start?

The Japanese military leaders were desperate to stop American invasion fleets beginning in 1944. Conventional air attacks by the Japanese Army & Navy units had suffered heavy casualties in air attacks on the US Navy ships that had very effective Anti-Aircraft weapons. By 1944, the Japanese were suffering heavy losses with few hits on the US ships. The Japanese had long-practiced military suicide attacks in ground combat, and now the Kamikaze suicide mission was the next logical (or emotional) step in the evolution of Japanese tactics in the face of a very dire situation.

What is the definition to kamikaze?

Kamikaze is a Japanese term meaning "divine wind"; kamimeans god or divine and kazi, obviously, means wind. It comes from an incident in Japan's history: in the 13th century, typhoons made it impossible for the Mongols to invade Japan. The term was used for the suicide missions undertaken by Japanese pilots in World War II because the hope was that they would have the same effect as the prior "holy winds" had.
