This is the destroyer Kamikaze of 1922, lead ship of her class, and nothing to do with the suicide aircraft of 1944 and 1945. Mitsubishi at Nagasaki laid her down on 15 December 1921, launched her on 25 September 1922 and completed her on 19 December 1922 as Destroyer No. 1. She received her name on 1 August 1928. She served with Destroyer Division 1 in the Ominato Guard District, defending the northern waters.
At Pearl Harbor she was still at Ominato, on patrol from the Kuril Islands to southern Hokkaido. In June 1942 she covered the Aleutians diversion and patrolled from Hokkaido to the Aleutians through the end of the year. In 1943 and 1944 she patrolled the Soya and Tsugaru Straits and escorted convoys to remote Kuril outposts. On 25 October 1944 USS Seal torpedoed the transport Hakuyo Maru from convoy WO-303, with 1,415 lives lost; Kamikaze and the escort ship Fukue depth-charged the submarine, which escaped.
From January 1945 she was with the Combined Fleet. She escorted the Ise-class battleships from Singapore to Japan in February in Operation Kita and on 20 February rescued the survivors of the destroyer Nokaze. In May she escorted the cruiser Haguro from Singapore twice. During the second sortie, on 16 May, Haguro was sunk by a British destroyer group. Kamikaze lost 27 killed and 14 injured, was lightly damaged, and rescued 320 survivors. In June she escorted the cruiser Ashigara, torpedoed on 8 June, and rescued 853 crew and 400 soldiers. Later that month she rescued 200 survivors of the tanker Toho Maru, sunk by B-24s.
On 18 July 1945 she depth-charged USS Hawkbill, which had missed a convoy off Malaya with its torpedoes, and severely damaged the submarine, which got away. After the war the two captains, Hitoshi Kasuga and Worth M. Scanland, exchanged letters praising each other. She was in Singapore at the surrender and was handed over to the British. She was struck from the Navy List on 5 October 1945, used to repatriate troops from Singapore, Bangkok and Saigon, and wrecked on 7 June 1946.
