The kamikaze have been the subject of dozens of films and television dramas in post-war Japan. The genre blends human dramas of 'tragic heroes' going to their deaths with war action entertainment. Many commemorative sites to the kamikaze also exist, particularly around the bases in Kyushu from where they flew their missions. From the 1990s, films triggered additional tourism to the museums; the museums introduced displays or merchandise related to some films; and municipalities started using films or novels about the kamikaze in their tourism promotion strategies. This paper introduces the 'kamikaze world' as a form of tourism imaginary to show how kamikaze contents (the narratives, characters, locations, and creative elements of kamikaze stories) are triggering contents tourism to a network of sites in southern Japan, and how this represents a gradual shift in kamikaze sites from being sites of commemoration to sites of popular culture pilgrimage
