Whoa, wait, the founder's last name is Hashimoto? That's awesome. I always just assumed it was a portmanteau related to hash functions.

Ah that's interesting -- I've never associated it with hash functions though I can see how one might be led to.

Hashi to my ears sounds distinctively Japanese (I understand it either means "bridge" or "chopsticks").
