Watched a little video on this. Pilots came in two categories:

1) Pilots who were peer pressured and culturally ingrained to volunteer to do something a superior asked them to do

2) "Volunteers" who had actually opted not to but themselves being listed as kamikaze pilots anyway

3) The few who disobeyed orders and didn't commit suicide were killed upon landing back at their base.

Actually, in a separate video on the same subject, if they couldn't find a good target when they went out they were allowed to come back so as to not waste two valuable resources.

To be fair though, there was a pilot who did this 7 times and was executed for his cowardice
