Kamikaze
- From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia that anyone can change
Kamikaze (literally: “god-wind”, usual translation: “divine wind”) is a word of Japanese origin. It does come from the name that the Japanese did give to a typhoon that did destroy the Mongol fleet in the thirteenth century saving the country from invasion.
In Western culture, the word kamikaze does mean the suicide pilots of the Empire of Japan, and their attacks on the ships of the Allied Powers in the final years of World War II. It does also mean other kinds of suicide attack.
Most people in Western culture believe that the word kamikaze was the name used by the Japanese military for pilots, but that is not true. The suicide attacks made by Navy pilots were called shinpû tokubetsu kôgeki tai, “divine wind special attack units”. The American translators did use a different style of pronunciation of the Japanese language by mistake, reading the word shinpû (“divine wind”) as kamikaze. The name did become popular throughout the world, and after the war, the Japanese did also start using it.
