Honor is a very important thing in Japanese culture even more so than the Chinese. They'd rather die than surrender (the way of the samurai's or their Bushido) and there is no way to say surrender in Japanese, it just doesn't exist. They would rather seppuku (basically suicide) than bring shame or dishonor their family and suicide is tolerated in Japan and some think it is a way to maintain one's honor.
