Kamikaze
In World War II the Japanese defended their southern island of Okinawa against the Americans with suicide fighter missions. Kamikaze is usually translated as "divine wind" and has its origins in the failed Mongol invasions of Japan back in 1274 and 1281 AD. (Typhoons destroyed the Mongol ships, thus saving the nation from probable destruction.) This clip is from 'The World at War' - a very famous WWII documenary series.

Japanese Police Chase
Japan Probe info: "Those of us who are familiar with U.S. police chase videos might be a bit surprised at the tactics used by the Japanese police in the above video. Whereas American police often use tactics such as physically blocking or even ramming fleeing vehicles to force them to a halt, the Japanese cops in this video don?????™t do much other than chase the car and repeatedly ask it to stop. At one point Japanese police partially block a lane with a patrol car, but the driver slips past. At another point, a couple patrol cars set up a ??????road block?????? using a few puny traffic cones, which do nothing to stop the vehicle in question (maybe they aren?????™t equipped with tire-shredding spikes?). The video ends with the car disappearing into a wooded road, and the narrator informs us that the chase eventually came to a stop after 2 hours."
