They also damaged 23 carriers, five battleships, nine cruisers, 23 destroyers and 27 other ships. American casualties amounted to 738 killed and another 1,300 wounded as the result of those attacks.

a song by omar apollo released in 2020 off of his third album “apolonio”
omar apollo: now we’re strangers in this lobby like kamikaze
An act Japanese figher pilots did in WW2 to destroy and target, by making themselves a weapon by colliding into the target, usually a ship.
One who searches for death in situations.
Kamikazier:One who does not care for own well being in fire-fights, wars, battles, and fistfights.
Kamikazier:An insane fighter who charges at enourmously unfavorable odds.
Sacrificing oneself to kill another.
The japanese kamikaze pilots are fanatical.
The japanese kamikaze pilots rammed six of our ships at Midway.
That man is willing to kamikaze his way through a battle.
That man is a kamikazier, he doesnt care how many people he is fighting, he acts as if its only one.

Complete and utter disregard to logic or to rational thinking. The epitome of "tunnel vision". Rash and reckless.
Dude: "Bro I’m on the last level, I have to save the princes" i.e. Super Mario Bros.
Bro: "Dude, you have to go kamikaze on his ass" i.e. Bowser
Dude: "Bro, but what about all the flying axes and fireballs?!!"
Bro: “Dude go kamikaze on his ass and you’ll make it!!!”

Japanese word "Divine wind".
In Japanese history, Japan had only a few crises to be invaded by foreign forces, twice by Mongolians and once by the USA.
When the Mongolian empire was at peak, Fubirai Kahn, a grandchild of Genghis Kahn, attempted to conquer Japan in 1274 and 1281 with massive forces. In both occasions, divine force, perhaps typhoon, destroyed Mongolian forces at sea. Since then, there was a belief that Japan was protected by divine force.
During the World War II, when Japan was loosing, Japanese air force adapted desparite suicidal attacks and named kamikaze after the divine wind.
Kamikaze was a crazy strategy.
At the time, Kamikaze was like guided missiles, and feared by American soldiers.

One definition is a Japanese pilot trained in World War II to make a suicidal crash attack, especially upon a ship.
However, the other definition is Japanese history means "godly wind" or "wind sent from the gods", as "kami" means "god" and "kaze" means "wind" or "breeze".
From October 25, 1944, to January 25, 1945, Kamikazes managed to sink two escort carriers and three destroyers. They also damaged 23 carriers, five battleships, nine cruisers, 23 destroyers and 27 other ships. American casualties amounted to 738 killed and another 1,300 wounded as the result of those attacks.
...when suddenly, a strong and ferocious wind struck the enemy ships. The Japanese were grateful and took the protective typhoon as help from the gods, thus naming it "kamikaze", or "godly wind".
( I borrowed this from a history book I read. )
