During World War 2, the suicidal Japanese attackers shouted "Tenohueka.....BANZAI!" This meant "May the emperor live thousands of years". They shouted this right as they charged the enemy infantry.
According to Banzai Skydiver, Banzai is the Japanese, "hurrah!" It originated during the Chinese Chin Dynasty. It was pronouced, "Wan-sui." It was popular as a happy gesture. It spread across Asia and was distorted during WII by the famous suicidal attacks. Now it is equated to danger and extreme sports.

How did the US justify interning Japanese-Americans during World War 2?
Badly. Some of the military leaders in California were .... OK, racists, and decided that Japanese might be disloyal. After all, they might send signals to Japanese airplanes or saboteurs, right? So, many Japanese, and Americans of Japanese ancestry, were interned in rather unpleasant conditions away from the coast for the duration of the war. It's astonishing, therefore, that when the Army asked for Japanese to volunteer for service, that so many did, and served so heroically. The 442nd Regiment, composed almost entirely of Japanese-Americans, fought in Europe and were the most highly decorated unit in American history. As an interesting side-note, Japanese in Hawaii were not interned, even though Hawaii was far more densely populated with Japanese, and there were virtually no acts of sabotage or espionage among Japanese or Japanese-Americans.
