I've been a user of their products for years, and really like them but never knew the last name Hashimoto seems to be why the name of the company is what it is. <Mind Blown>

It is! Most people pronounce the first part of Hashicorp the way you say "hash" (as in MD5). Technically it should be "haw-shee" because of the last name Hashimoto.

Side note, internally a pseudo company name used for example purposes is "Dadgarcorp" after Armon Dadgar. :D
