Maybe we ought to have a separate nitpick forum for people who like this kind of stuff... Anyway, did anyone notice that in various materials, the place where Hiro works changes?

In Hiro's blog, it used to say "auto-translated by: Yamagoto Software" If i recall correctly. It doesn't say that anymore. It now says "Yamagato."

Still, if you google
Hiro Yamagoto you get about 73 results, most of which refer to the show.

Then in the most recent episode, Peter was reading about "Yamagato Industries" to Simone's dad. And I thought "how strange, Hiro works at Yamagoto, not Yamagato." Only now when I go to Hiro's blog, it actually says "Yamagato."

It's possible I'm just remembering incorrectly. But with copy and paste so en vogue, surely most of these other references to Yamagoto have to have been sourced from somewhere official?

I clearly remember seeing the name of the company on Hiro's desk in E1. I'll go back and look.

You're nitpicking about a vowel change? The guy travels through time, I'd say it's lucky if a vowel change is the only disruption his workplace and home town suffer with him bending spacetime whenever he likes. Very Happy

Another place where you will see an attribution to Yamagoto Industries instead of Yamagato Industries is in the Episode 2 Graphic Novel.

It is on his ID Card as he is throwing it away:
