The other definitions of this word are also right, but the word banzai is used as a symbol of cheer. Banzai basically means "hands up" but in a cheerful way. When you put your hands up and say banzai, it's more of a "YAAAAAYYY" than a "hands up".

When Japan entered World War II, the KamiKaze pilots and foot soldiers were told to scream BANZAI!!! just before their deaths as a salute to the emporer.
In reality, very few people did this, and just screamed for their mother, the same as all soldiers did.

"banzai" is a japanese battle cry that roughly translates to the English "I am killing people, and I feel rather enthusiastic about it."

A charge by Japanese soldiers with a bayonet or knife to kill the enemy in battle but also to die in honor if not effective, and to avoid being captured or surrendering. Used a lot WW2. Banzai means Long live the King/Emperor.
I was playing campaign on Call of Duty World at War and I was killed when a soldier used a Banzai Charge. BANZAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you're having sex with a fat woman, usually 300lbs at the most, you allow the woman stand over you, and with you back first on the bed or floor looking up, the woman then yells "BANZAAAAAI!!" before doing a short jump and then slamming all of her doughiness down onto your chest or erect penis. Be careful though, performing this could EASILY result in a penile fracture if not done correctly
