Kamikaze is the name given to which of the following?

D. Japanese suicide pilots

The kamikaze (divine wind) was a military tactic in which Japanese pilots crashed their planes into the enemy's defense, such as ships.

Prominently used at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the committed pilots, who mostly volunteered, crashed their plains directly into the ships, destroying and weakening the enemy's fleet. This deed was seen as honorable and praiseworthy, as the soldier had given his life for the sake of his country.
