I'm not saying that were not a number of 'honour suicides' or instances of acceptance of the likelihood of honourable suicide (e.g., kamikaze missions) on the part of Japanese 'officers and men'; my point is that there was remarkably little of what would seem to be, according to their own code of honour, 'doing the right thing' among the actual leaders who were responsible for virtually the complete destruction, not to say humiliation, of their country.
