Do you want to hear a really boring answer to why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? During take off and landing (kamikaze pilots had to land too if the weather was bad and the mission aborted) they had to fly with the canopy open and so they wore these cloth or leather caps which kept their heads warm (the idea being that during take off and landing you had to canopy open so you could clear the plane quicker). Some "helmets" had earphones in so they could hear the radio too. Modern fighter pilots wear proper helmets just to protect their heads from bouncing off the canopy during whizzy maneuvers as no helmet is going to be much use if you smash your plane into something hard.
