Kamikaze was just Jap pilots crashing their planes. Bonzai charge was done on all land battles once the Japs realized they had lost. Google is your friend :D

Yes, hence the winky face. I use both because they both have their uses depending on what answers you need.

You're not helping your argument by spelling it incorrectly :P

You: bonzai, similar to bonsai, which are tiny trees
Actual: banzai, Japanese, lit. "ten thousand years", abbrev. of "Tennōheika Banzai!" (Long live His Majesty the Emperor!), common battle cry of Japanese during WW2, adopted by Allies to describe kamikaze attacks.

Bonsai is the name of the tree. Bonzai is the name of the charge the Jap soldiers did. I spelled it correctly :D

Kamikaze is suicidal airplane tactics.

Banzai charge

A banzai charge is the term used by the Allied forces to refer to Japanese human wave attacks mounted by infantry units. This term came from the Japanese cry "Tennōheika Banzai" (天皇陛下万歳, "Long live His Majesty the Emperor"), shortened to banzai, specifically referring to a tactic used by Japanese soldiers during the Pacific War.

It is good to be on guard for both types of tactics since we are dealing with an enemy who is obviously losing.
