Divine Wind
A planet colonized and mostly inhabited by Japanese people, with a large amount of tourists. It was one of humanity's first colonies and has a high influence in Starways Congress. Peter Wiggin and Wang-mu came here in Children of the Mind as part of their mission to "find the center of power among humankind" and to "persuade them to stop the fleet before it needlessly destroys a world ". Divine Wind is the English translation of the Japanese term Shimpū Tokkōtai, more commonly known as Kamikaze.

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The wind of change is blowing through the continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact.”
