Kata can be translated as model, pattern, style or a formula. In simple terms it means a fixed pattern, either solution towards handling a problem, applying any strategy. Kata has been exercised in every facet of Japanese activities, including political, social and military.
Japanese are proud of their adoption of Kata factor, however Boye revealed that Japanese were themselves strange to Kata Factor, and never realized before their adherence to Kata Factor, he wrote, '99% of the (Japanese)audience had never realized the "Kata factor" had played such a role in Japan'.
