Usage notes
[edit]This kamikaze spelling is also the ultimate source of English kamikaze, but by a circuitous route. The characters appear in 神風特別攻撃隊 (shinpū tokubetsu kōgeki tai, “shinpū special attack unit”), the name of airborne kamikaze units surely named after the typhoon but using the on'yomi or Sino-Japanese reading shinpū (see below). The kamikaze reading was used informally in the Japanese media at the time, and this made its way into English. For more, see Kamikaze on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
The Japanese term for referring to the WWII suicide pilots is the abbreviated form 特攻隊 (tokkōtai).
Derived terms
