Didn't Mitsubishi make the Zero's use by the kamikazees?  J/k
---------------------

This is off topic, but let's keep that comment in perspective! Mitsubishi made the A6M "Zero" (allied code name, not a Japanese name) and many other infamous WWII Japanese planes. The Kamikaze "program" used whatever they could get, including some older Zeroes. There was a special made Kamikaze plane -- looked like a torpedo with stubby wings and a cockpit with a small rocket motor replacing the torpedo motor/prop -- because that's exactly what it was. One or two were dropped by a Mitsubishi "Betty" bomber and they were guided in by the pilot. The Allies code named them "Baka", which is basically "fool" in Japanese.
