KAGOSHIMA — Two former Japanese kamikaze pilots and two survivors from a U.S. destroyer sunk by a suicide attack in 1945 jointly visited a museum for kamikaze pilots in Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture, on Saturday. Shigeyoshi Hamazono, 83, from the city of Kagoshima and Takehiko Ena, 83, from Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, west of Tokyo, survived suicide missions in April and May in 1945, respectively, after their aircraft ditched without crashing into U.S. warships.

Risa Morimoto was so shocked when she found out her uncle had once trained as a kamikaze pilot, she was inspired to make a film. Though she couldn’t ask her uncle about the experience–he died in the mid-1980s, before she found out about his secret past–she was determined to find others like him. Her film, “Wings of Defeat,” tells the tale of men who survived kamikaze missions through technical glitches and bizarre coincidences, allowing them to tell their stories over six decades later.
