Life of a Kamikaze

It's April 12th, 1945, and Nine Mitsubishi G4M Betty bombers and their escort of A6M Zero fighters soar over the East China Sea. In the leading bomber, Lieutenant Saburo Dohi puts on his oxygen mask and lies back on his makeshift cot, breathing deeply. His mind is focused on one thing: the new secret weapon held in the bowels of the Betty, a weapon the Japanese hope will change the course of the war. The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka was the chariot of the Thunder Gods. Volunteer pilots who would give everything for Japan. We try to lift the veil on the life of these young pilots. To try and understand their training and their friendships and to explore why they would strive to make the ultimate sacrifice. To find out more on the Thunder Gods check out the great book by Dan King, 'Blossoms From the Sky' which was one of the sources we used for this video. The Ohka was used successfully by Saburo Dohi when he hit the destroyer Mannert L. Abele causing it to split in half and subsequently sink.

We thought long and hard doing this one. No doubt the Okha design is very cool but we in no way support the actions of the Japanese pilots. We wanted to do a video that showed their story from their view and reading 'Blossoms From the Sky' by Dan King inspired us to make this. Tell us if you think we got it right or wrong !

Interesting fact: When Tadanao Miki, the designer of the Ohka, was ordered by his superiors to design the Ohka, he strongly objected, saying, ``It would be an affront to technology to create an airplane in which the pilot would definitely die.'' However, his superiors and subordinates could not refuse this request. In his diary after the war, he wrote, ``My heart hurts every time I think about it.'' After the war, Tadanao Miki joined Japan National Railways, saying, ``I want to use technology for peace this time,'' and in 1964, he designed the world's first high-speed railway, the Shinkansen 0 series. Thorough weight reduction and a shape with low air resistance were exactly the techniques cultivated in Ohka's design. Tadanao Miki designed many other railway cars and passed away in 2005 at the age of 95.

I just read on another video about the Oka that the designer was somebody else, and he was ashamed changed his name after the war and ended up dying of cancer. The relevant part of the comment is as follow, “…even as a Japanese person, I am impressed. If there's one thing I'd like to tell you, it's that Shoichi Ota, who invented Ouka, boarded an airplane without permission and took off on the day Japan was defeated in the war. Everyone thought that he committed suicide, taking responsibility for losing the war after developing Ouka, but many pilots died in battle, but he was still alive. According to Japanese historians, the plane he was on crash-landed in waters far from land, and he was rescued by a fishing boat. Having failed in his suicide attempt, he abandoned the name "Shoichi Ota" and also abandoned his wife and child, whom he had married during the war. Therefore, many people thought that Shoichi Ota was dead. After the war, he gave himself a false name, changed his job many times, and no ID was created, so he couldn't go to the hospital even if he got sick, and in the end, he suffered from cancer and died.”

These pilots were not barbaric war criminals, hell you could even say most of the Japanese pilots weren't either, they were just people and specifically the kamikaze's were innocent people, they didn't start the war, fought the war with false patriotic superiority complex in mind, they were innocent people who just wanted to protect their home and family.

You really nailed this video. When I was around 11-14 years old, I saw Kamikaze pilots as fanatical lunatics. Today I am 23 and I understand exactly what they gave their lives for. The answer to this question is the "Last first sunrise" part. Japan is a beautiful country and I like it even though I haven't been there. Their culture and country is amazing. I sympathize with them also for the reason that my great-grandfather fought in the First World War and at the end of the Second World War took part in the battles on the Prague barricades. Unfortunately for him, he was in a part of Prague called Pankrác. There were some pretty tough fights. The Germans killed many resistance fighters there. My great grandfather was seriously injured but survived. But he suffered from PTSD until his death, painting pictures helped him to forget... Honor the memory of all brave men and women.

The ship suffered six strikes from aircraft variously described as Vals and Zeroes. Among the strikes were two partial hits from debris of aircraft struck by anti-aircraft fire, two glancing blows one of which took off part of the forward stack, and two direct. The ship was seriously damaged but did not sink. My father was a Chief Machinest Mate aboard her and survived uninjured while over 30 crewmates didn't.

My father was on the USS Chandler, which was on picket duty during the melee north of Okinawa. Glad he didn't have to deal with any of these.

It still makes me think whenever I consider how young many of these pilots were, and how they were taught just enough to fly a rocket in just one very final mission.

We always remember that the Kamikaze pilot’s "honor" and "sorrow " and that they protected "love for motherland” and “love for their family" ,and for the bright future of we Japanese and the people worldwide, I pray for peace all over the world...😢😊👍
