Synopsis
This book tells the story of Kazuo Odachi who -- in 1943, when he was just 16 years-old-joined the Imperial Japanese Navy to become a pilot. A year later, he was unknowingly assigned to the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps -- a group of airmen whose mission was to sacrifice their lives by crashing planes into enemy ships. Their call sign was 'ten dead, zero alive.' By picking up Memoirs of a Kamikaze , readers will experience the hardships of fighter pilot training -- dipping and diving and watching as other trainees crash into nearby mountainsides. They'll witness the psychological trauma of coming to terms with death before each mission, and breathe a sigh of relief with Odachi when his last mission is cut short by Japan's eventual surrender. They'll feel the anger at a government and society that swept so much of the sacrifice under the rug in its desperation to rebuild. Odachi's innate 'samurai spirit' carried him through childhood, WWII and his eventual life as a kendo instructor, police officer and detective. His attention to detail, unwavering self-discipline and impenetrably strong mind were often the difference between life and death. Odachi, who is now well into his nineties, kept his Kamikaze past a secret for most of his life. Seven decades later, he agreed to sit for nearly seventy hours of interviews with the authors of this book -- who know Odachi personally. He felt it was his responsibility to finally reveal the truth about the Kamikaze pilots: that they were unsuspecting teenagers and young men asked to do the bidding of superior officers who were never held to account.

It is a transcript of Odachi's words., Kazuo Odachi was only 16 years old when he joined the Imperial Japanese Navy to become a pilot. A year later he was unknowingly assigned to the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps-a group of young airmen whose mission was to sacrifice their lives by crashing their planes into American ships. Memoirs of a Kamikaze is an incredible tale of survival that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in Japanese history. Odachi took part in many dangerous missions in his Mitsubishi Zero, Japan's legendary fighter. In this book, he recounts his experiences flying from a base in Taiwan and at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, where Japan first employed Kamikazes. He touches on previously unknown episodes of the war, including a top-secret mission to escort Emperor Hirohito's brother to Shanghai. Having survived the war against all odds, Odachi kept his role as a Kamikaze secret for many decades. In this book, he finally reveals the truth of his wartime experiences, expressing his revulsion for the war and his poignant remembrances of friends who so tragically lost their lives.
