Japanese pilots who in WW2 made deliberate suicidal crashes into enemy targets, usually ships. The term also denotes the aircraft used in such attacks. Kamikaze was more accurate than conventional attacks and often caused more damage. Some kamikazes were still able to hit their targets even after their aircraft had been crippled.
