All but a few PH airmen were killed at Midway.
While I don't know how many survived the war, it is not at all true that most perished at Midway. Many died in the six months between Pearl Harbor and Midway. In these six months the Japanese carriers had almost nonstop action, and inevitably, some pilots were killed with every strike. The battle of the Coral Sea in May of 1942 hit the air groups of carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku particularly hard. Furthermore, while all of the Japanese planes at Midway were destroyed, the great bulk went down with their ships, while the pilots were safely evacuated.
Both
Japanese pilots from the Zuikaku and Shōkaku aircraft carriers are the pilots who bombed Pearl Harbor. There were also six mini submarines that were sent to attack the ships but they were not very successful.
The airmen knew their targets. They had to study them.
LT George Welch and LT Ken Taylor were two pilots who not only survived the attack, they also were successful in fighting back.
I don't remember reading that any airmen were taken captive but one of the mini subs was captured on a neighboring island. There is a picture showing the men who piloted the subs in and around Pearl Harbor - all of those men are pictured except the man taken captive. He dishonored the Japanese therefore he lost his position in Japanese history.
they were attacks made from Japanese pilots

Japanese military aircraft-a fighter used on aircraft carriers,flown also by kamikasi pilots
There weren't any kamikaze pilots in the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
the Japanese did not lull the US into an attack on Pearl Harbor. the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, not the other way around.
A good portion of the population in Pearl Harbor are of Japanese descent.
No, however some Japanese pilots that were shot down or damaged tried to crash their aircraft into something important.
As a woman commented during the burying of dead Japanese pilots near Pearl Harbor, just after the attack, "...they were some mother's sons."
