Mitsubishi used in kamikaze role? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zero

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mitsubishi' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in kamikaze role?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ZERO' can be found hidden inside 'kamikaze role'.

'used' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zero that I've seen before include "value?" , "ending as nothing too" , "Less than one" , "Score of nought - nil" , "Japanese fighter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
