The first Kamikazes were Americans, so impressed with the bravery of Men of Torpedo 8 at Midway were the Japanese that they decided to launch similar attacks.

Cool homepage. Did your grandmother really wreck your restored Mustang?
As for VT-8 I doubt that the attack survivor, Ens George Gay thought of himself as a kamikaze/martyr anymore than the Marines that faced and survived Iwo, Saipan, Guadalcanal, etc.
