The Imperial order for a Kamikaze attack against Bunker Hill was his fate.

Explanation:

Japan used kamikaze as a war tactic against the US by crashing into aircraft carriers. Young men were forcefully drafted to 'tokkotai', a s uicide corps, as a service to the country. These young men were often used as s uicide bombers and had to accept their fate.

Many Kamikaze survivors recount this event as very disturbing and unsettling as they had to forcefully lay down their lives by crashing into US aircraft carriers. Likewise, Kiyoshi Ogawa was one among the many kamikaze pilots who had to accept that s uicide was his fate.
