The name "Mitsubishi" refers to the three-diamond emblem. "Mitsubishi" is a combination of the words "mitsu" and "hishi". "Mitsu" (Kanji: 三) means "three". "Hishi" (Kanji: 菱) means "water chestnut", and Japanese have used the word for a long time to denote a rhombus or diamond shape. Japanese often bend the "h" sound to a "b" sound when it occurs in the middle of a word. So they pronounce the combination of "mitsu" and "hishi" as "mitsubishi".

Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the old Mitsubishi organization, chose the three-diamond mark as the emblem for his company. The mark is suggestive of the three-leaf crest of the Tosa Clan, Yataro's first employer, and also of the three stacked rhombuses of the Iwasaki family crest.

I took this photo 2 and a half years ago and forgot that I never uploaded it.

This is an extremely rare vehicle - the Pistachio is a up-spec Minica kei car that was only available new in Japan and only to local governments and companies working to protect the environment. It was designed as a ultra fuel efficient vehicle. It features GDI and a stop-go system, as well as a 5-speed manual gearbox, and official testing revealed it could do 3.33L/100km (84.8 mpg!)

It was only available in Loire Green or Citron Yellow, though a search on Google only shows green ones like the one above. Given ONLY 50 were ever made, making this almost certainly unique in New Zealand, it may well be that none were ever made in yellow, especially considering it would have been named after the small green nut.
