I think that kamakaze pilots wore helmets so that if they have a problem in the middle of the flight to the destination, they do not get injured. Kamakaze units are not because they fell like dying! O_O

It's not a 'helmet' more like a leather cap with fur to keep your head warm. Japanese aircraft were not heated or pressurized.

So as to prevent head injuries of course. No respectable Kamikaze wants to die of head trauma, they wanted to blown to bits.
This is the only truly Japanese way of meeting their end. The smaller pieces the better.
