Most Japanese are either Shinto or Buddhist. Kamikaze's were probably more State Shinto than anything since Buddhist main tenant is not to kill another...or anything at all.
But Shinto's have a afterlife as well. They believed they were dying for their family, country and emperor who was divine. The men who would die in these raids would be honored by the emperor a couple times a year.
