Kamikaze means divine wind.
Historically, it was the name given to the wind that destroyed an invasion fleet from China that saved Japan in their ancient history. It was from there it eventually was used during WWII for the suicide pilots.
It was a term of destruction for enemies.
Hat tip to Nichiren Daishonin, the Japanese monk who history says was leading the prayers to wipe out the Manchurians.
Some good news, for people and pets:

I'm thinking genpatsu-shinsai would be a most excellent screen name. In a twisted Monty Pythonish sort of way.
