There were 353 planes total used during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
However, NONE OF THEM were kamikaze missions. Kamikaze missions did not begin until late in the war 1943-44 or later.
However, there are some anecdotal accounts of planes crashing into ships during the Pearl Harbor attack, but these were not kamikaze pilots. Rather, some Japanese pilots decided that, if their planes were badly damaged and their lives were therefore to be lost anyway, then they would fly into an enemy target instead of diving into the sea. They did not have the intention of being kamikazes. Rather, they agreed to strike an enemy target instead of crashing into the ocean. For example, First Lieutenant Fusata Iida told his comrades that he planned to fly into a "worthy enemy target" if his plane was irreparably damaged and the alternative was to crash into the sea. Either way, he would be dead.
This is very different from "kamikaze." Kamikaze missions sent pilots (well trained ones at that) into the air with the sole purpose of crashing into an enemy target. Kamikaze wasn't a last ditch effort on the part of a pilot who was going down anyway. Kamikaze pilots intended to commit suicide before taking off.
2402 including 55-68 civilians. 1170 were killed in an arms explosion on board one of the vessels hit by an artillery shell. its hard to determine how many were killed by kamikaze directly.
please note the attack was known to be planned before it happened. also Japan had sent its 14 articles declaring war 30 minutes prior to the attack (it had been intercepted and decoded a good deal earlier) it was allowed to take place to bring America into the war. America never declared war on adolf Hitler instead war was declared by him against them a few days later.
in the context of ww2 this was not a big event in terms of loss of life.
The first kamikaze attack happen on December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor.

The attack on Pearl Harbor is how the United States became involved in WW2

The Japanese Army was NOT involved with the Pearl Harbor attack. The Japanese NAVY conducted the attack. Naval officer, Captain Fuchida commanded the first wave of airplanes from his "Kate" torpedo bomber; Naval officer, Lieutenant Commander Shimazaki led the second wave of airplanes, while flying a "Kate" torpedo bomber.
Five midget submarines participated in the attack.
The technique of the kamikaze was to crash their plane into their target. So they were on suicide missions. This technique was very successful in the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.
